How is this version different from 1290X/40? Which one is better?

I never owned one of those, I had pulsinic Braun. It was ok but very loud. The Norelco is much more quiet and works better.

Check out the differences between the 1513 and the 1512 and consider if they are worth the extra $100 to you or not. Me personally, I always try to get the latest model when it's not a bank breaker. To be honest though, 2GB of RAM and 4 ethernet ports are not that much of an upgrade. I purchased the additional 1GB of RAM for my 1512 to bump it up to 2GB, think I picked it up here on Amazon for around $30. I highly recommend getting the extra memory for the 1512 if you go that route.

The biggest improvement is in the TIM (thermal interface material) which will improve temp's, resulting in a better overclock. Many enthusiast replaced the TIM on the 4670K's and lowered their temps by 10-20*C. I haven't seen any benchmarks published but I would be surprised if there's more than 5% improvement on any of the test. Also, there is an improvement on the integrated graphics.

My system runs a x16. I guess looking up my possible candidates I didn't realize the obvious difference. I plugged the card in and it still works! However, I would advise looking for x16 still, because it sounds like that is not always the case.

I agree with Mr. Viernes response - the main difference between the two is the RAM and HHD. And of course the screen size. But you can never have enough RAM so I'd upgrade to at least 6GB, or even 8 if your budget allows. The i5 processor seems to be standard on the 400, as it is on my 500, and it's plenty fast. You do have the option of upgrading to the i7, which is great if you're running multiple graphics. Otherwise the i5 should be fine. Of course the 400 has a smaller screen than the 500 but that may be a good thing if you travel often and space is a problem. The 500 isn't heavy, and it's very slim, but it fits tight in a standard sized computer bag. I agree with Mr. Viernes response - the main difference between the two is the RAM and HHD.

The FTW version is clocked higher right out of the box. It's been tested by EVGA at these clock speeds to be stable. The regular superclocked version may be overclocked to these levels but may or may not be stable. I'm happy with the FTW version. I think it was worth a little extra.

I'm sure this is too late for the OP, but wanted to chime in if I may. From what I found/feel, the PA249Q is the true successor of the PA246Q. The most notable difference is that the 248 is not wide gamut, nor 10-bit capable. I'm sure the 248 is nice, as about everything from ASUS is. However to many professionals, this is likely a deal breaker.

Get the 830D; use Win7 64 bit and try to get 4 gig ram... Runs fast and cool.

I was told by a sales person at a "big box" store that they are the same, that different retailers use slightly different model numbers. My advice is to write down the the tech specs such as dpi, hz, etc., (and watch for different wording like "Clear Motion Rate" is not the same as "refresh rate") and then compare the different models that way.

The CAS latency is different. One is CL7 and the other is CL9 meaning the slightly more expensive CL7 model with be a bit quicker on the draw. In reality however you most likely won't notice a difference. Gaming? Not at all. An adobe product most likely not. A benchmarking program Like 3D mark or Prime 95? That would be the only place you would be able to see the difference. For the few extra dollars I would opt for the Cl7 model. As far as compatibility is concerned the cas latency is a moot point. You need to be concerned with the Voltages(1.5 or 1.6V), speed(1066,1333,1600 etc) DDR3 and any other variable your MOBO suggests. You will most likely need to enter your BIOS(setup/press delete or F1 at boot) after you install these and set the appropriate timings. 7 7 7 21 for the CL7(BRH) or 9 9 9 24(BRL) for the CL9 model. You may need to perform a CMOS reset which entails pressing a reset CMOS button on most newer mobos or removing the CMOS battery in older systems. You can Google CMOS or Jumper(maintenance mode) reset for more information. In short the BRH model is better.

Sorry, I don't recall. (My guess would be it's 970.) In the overall scheme of things, the small differences you're asking about, would probably not be noticeable with this unit.

JT has an Intel i3 proc which is a little nicer and the graphics card is a little newer. For most people the difference is not HUGE. So if your on the fence and you really want to save the $130, the VT is great. I am typing on mine now and I got it almost a year ago. A freind of mine also just got the JT after seeing mine and he loves his as well. Both are great computers. I have Steam on this and play Team Fortress 2, Modern Warfare 2, and Battlefield Bad Company 2 all on this on moderate settings with no problem. I also type reports on it regularly with no issues.

Also the 4065F has 10 bit conversion compared to the 8 bit processing in the 4061F. I believe this means that up conversion from lower resolution sources is superior...less grainy with better color.

Overall there is no difference with the exception of graphics. However, there isn't much of a difference in graphics. Whatever version you decide to get it will be the same.

Gottlieb, that's NOT what I said. I'm talking same feature set/performance, not price. The VSX 31 is equivalent to the 1020, not the 1120. You're comparing an apple to an orange.

The A10-4600M also has 512mb VRAM, but it is a slightly better IGPU; I went from the A4-4300M to the A10 and noticed a massive difference.

My preference is fo OEM over upgrade but back up your data first of course. Can't guarantee everything (sw/hw) will work going from 32 to 64 bit but there are usually workarounds.
