Other than size & weight, what is the difference between P2 and S2 models? Which is preferable for 2-GPU SLI and Video Editing?

EVGA SuperNOVA 1000 P2 80PLUS has a rated efficiency of 92% while G2 version is rated for 80 Plus Gold which is less efficient then Platinum P2 Version. Also G2 version does not have lot of bells and whistles as P2 version such as ECO Mode if you want your PSU to be dead silent. I hope that helps. For efficiency safe and if money is not an issue, EVGA SuperNOVA 1000 P2 Power Supply is one of the best PSU on the market for 1000watts.

PS is standard sized power supply.P2 is longer than a standard power supply, which with it comes advantages such as a silent fan mode.If you can fit the P2 it's the better option, but other people may have space limitations in which case the PS is still an excellent option.

I'm still debating for myself. My paper backlog isn't as big (maybe 5-7 years) and I have very limited space in my apartment (honestly not sure where I'd fit the S1500), so I'm leaning toward the S1300. BUT, if I had as much paper as it sounds like you do and the footprint wasn't an issue, I'd go for the S1500 primarily because of the speed difference, which is huge. Getting Adobe Acrobat (if you don't have it already) is also a big plus. Go to you __ tube and search for ScanSnap S1300 vs S1500. The speed difference will be really clear.

It will depend largely on how much RAM and what kind of HDD or SSD you decide to put in, but the CPU will easily handle editing and encoding of HD videos. Some software (such as Adobe Premiere) will even make use of the Iris Pro portion of the CPU with OpenCL acceleration. I have 16GB of 2133MHz RAM and a 512GB SSD (with a bunch of extra external storage on USB 3.0), and it is very quick. The tradeoff for the tiny size is louder fan noise when the CPU is working hard, but that will also be an issue with the Brix with GTX760.

1GB effect as SLI does not double the usable memory (has to mirror between both GPUs data wise) and it is the 256bit. As for tested or working just ask the seller and if ripped file a claim.

My S2IS purchased at Amazon.com came with a Kingston 1GB card, so slow it's not speed-rated, I'm guessing 5X or so. But it still records OK, at 30 fps 640x480 with 16-bit uncompressed wav STEREO, just like the S3. It's just a pain to offload the files to computers. 1GB is enough for 9 minutes, so I suppose any 10x, 20x, rated cards should work.

The v1 and v2 are very different, V1 = 600mhz single core CPU, V2 has 800Mhz dual core, the v1 has 2 USB 2.0 , v2 has 1 usb 3.0 and 1 usb 2.0 The v1 has 128mb memory whilst V2 has 256mb. So theres a big difference between the 2, hence the question.

Warren,I cannot decipher any difference between the 2 models listed. I think they are one in the same. That said, if the merchant told you that it is better than its predecessor, that may indeed be true--if he is comparing it the 61/71 series or the 65 series from last year's model line. But even Samsung's website doesn't mention the S2F being any sort of an upgrade or anything like that.I've been looking at the A860 for a while. The slim depth plus its couple extra features make it a bit more attractive than the 6 or 7 series lines.

It would appear they have stopped selling the SO2 on their website and upgraded the SO1. Before Xmas I compared the models and the SO1 had a weaker video card and less memory. It was also silver and slimmer. So, at this point, looking at the specs, it looks exactly the same as the S02 I purchased in December. I will say for gaming, its the best for your budget. I slightly higher end (and I say slightly) Alienware or comparable could jump the price from 500 to 2000 dollars. Just depends on the specs.

The 5400rpm Best Buy's (NP700Z5B-W01UB) model HDD was a deal breaker for me. Besides Amazon's tax savings offset the price difference, so you get all 4 additional features (7200 HDD, 8G SSD, backlit keyboard, better video) for about $100 considering shipping and the current $150-$200 price difference. However the mention of the 5400rpm drive in S03 (and I'm sure S04) models made me think again. It's gotta be some difference with S01/S02 and the drive seems to be it. Another thing that one reviewer (of the S04) confirmed is that the 8G SSD is indeed proprietary tech (built into and inseparable from the HDD) and thus unavailable as a separate drive letter. I use Linux as my primary OS, so I don't care about Windows startup or IE speed. I don't think Linux would pick up the SSD at all. Which makes me go back to the stripped down Best Buy model. I'd simply swap its slow HDD with a full-size (256G+) SSD which can be had for $300 nowadays. I can live w/o the backlit keyboard and as far as the less capable video card, it's a business notebook, not a water-cooled gaming rig anyway.

I can't imagine having 4 Titan Blacks in Quad SLI. That's 4k for 4k. I bought 2 GTX 770's in SLI and am told it would run really slow on a 4k so I will probably go with a high definition ips monitor. If you got money like that though I don't blame you for going for the best.

I am interested in the same: what brand to upgrade to for 2X2gb; also, in what aspects did you notice an improvement?

I don't know but before buying mine, I also had a compatibility question and looked up SLP Performance online and emailed them. They answered within hours with the answer.

I would get a single 970 or 980 - 970 will be less than 2x770s and the 980 will be about the same. The 980 will have about the same bench give or take - certainly less heat and less power.

No more than 3. cards are used and 3 is overkill. Not worth the extra expense for the amount of increased performance too small of a increase . 2 cards is enought . This card does not scale well in a quad configuration and in some cases it makes FPS worse. The card is old now with only 2 gb of memory. Even with 3 cards in SLI you still have only 2 gb of memory. Get two cards

This card has more video memory, so I'd like to think that the picture quality's gonna be just a tad better than the 2Gb GDDR card. Mine's been running cool & stable for the last year, so I can vouch for it's reliability as well...

From what I can see there is no substantial difference between the two series. They look the same and have substantially the same hardware. The M5 listings I have seen seem identical to the V5 I bought. I recommend the V5 so I can imagine the M5 is good too. One note: I got the V5-573PG-9610 which comes with an Nvidia GPU. If you can find this, it is worth it! It makes games and video and graphic programs run much better.

This PSU has and still is serving me very well. It didn't flinch at anything I've thrown at it but I have not tried SLI. Should you are within its limits, you should also be fine with SLI.
