Is the HyperX "red" version the same spec/performance class as HyperX "blu" version, just a different color?

There may be a difference in mhz. Or just a different type of RAM. I used to have two DDR2 blue ones with 1333 mhz.

Yes there is a big difference but only for certain tasks like extreme multitasking using 6 monitors and power video editing. If you are a normal home user and even a gamer you will not notice a difference. 95% of computer users should not need the i7 hyper threading.

From what I can tell no, same drivers, same mic, same cord and inline controls, just a different color scheme and Kingston Hyperx markings on each ear piece

Hey! I personally have had better luck with the Hyper X. It is actually optimized for Intel gen 3 processors (Ivy Bridge) vs the Corair's Gen 2 (makes a big difference as Intel may release a Gen 4 soon).The latency on the Hyperx is better as well, 9-9-9-24 vs 10-10-10-24 (you have to read the details at the bottom on the Corair page, they are different than the top.) It will automatically hyper thread as needed which can save power in laptops.AND it is also CHEAPER :-)

The 670 is Best Buy's version. The 670 does not have the "touch of color" around the frame, which does not matter. However, the 670 -- which I own -- also lacks Yahoo widgets, which means no Amazon Video on Demand. Instead, it has Cinema Now. The 670 also lacks Flickr (but has Picasa Web instead). For these reasons, I wish that I had bought the 650 from Amazon instead of Best Buy's 670.

Hi. I think the only difference is the color, because it has the same name, and also the same model number, but ends with 140. Like it is the color that is indicated 140.

The processor is not the same ....the old version has : CELERON and the new one: APPLE ..... and I do prefer CELERON . Besides it is a little cheaper and it works excellent . I bought a red one .

Mine are blue but they have different computer models, so i don't know what the one you are looking at will be. All of the models are different. You need to ask the company about your choice of model. They are very friendly and will help you with answers. I got the more industrial looking case and it is black with neon blue light, and one red light. I like how the on button is halfway up the case, and part of the design. The on light and front fan lights are blue on mine. The case is very huge. A large amount of room for upgrades, components are very easy to get to, but I don't need any upgrades for a long time, as it was future ready out of the box. I love my Microtel. It runs smooth and very fast! Will buy from them again and again as long as they are in business. I had one blue screen glitch but that was Windows related, and that was easily fixed, so now it works perfect. Beautiful. I am using Gimp, Mind mapping, doing graphic extensive artwork and running ram heavy software, writing novels and playing games and I don't even cause the CPU to blink above 1-2% usage. They make powerhouses and call them computers. And yet, they are cost efficient to run.

I really don't know if there is any difference between the black or red models I have the black and I love it I wouldn't trade it for the world,it's the best as far as I'm concerned.

Sorry, I honestly don't know. I bought the computer as a gift for my boyfriend. He loves it but I'm not sure what the differences would be.

The "R" version is only 8-bit color. The other two have 10-bit color. There's some conjecture on the net that the two 10-bit versions are identical except for a firmware update that makes the "V" version respond faster. (Less lag.) I haven't been able to confirm this.

The LXE is red and has a little more chrome on it. But basically they both have the same features. They both also use the same interchangeable add on pieces.

Those things are noted by Amazon not us, both models are the same except for the color difference.

The one I received despite the black and silver one pictured, was the bronze / gold one with a green PCB. I think it's because the newer versions got revised so the color scheme was changed up. Performance wise they shouldn't differ and it sorta disappointed me because I wanted to match my mobo and case, but the performance was enough to make me keep it.

Looks like same performance (speed) specs; the 'C' version claims Mac and PC compatibility; presumably the 'B' version is PC only
