Notguilty Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 I just got a HC-300 and it has not been installed yet. Now I am reading that the HC-300c has come out and I'm wondering what the difference in the two are? Is there a difference in price? Is it worth the hassle of returning the one I have and getting the new one? Thanks in advance for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dans Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 My understanding is that the the primary (maybe even only) difference is the 300c has a faster CPU. If you can return it i would, i think the prices are the same...and if you are going to be running 2.0 you'll want the extra speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henniae Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 A little bit faster processor and a bit more memory. There is also a factory reset button. I think there is one less USB port also.Check out this linkhttp://c4central.com/2010/08/10/miss-the-glory-days-of-1-7-4-performance-the-hc-300c-controller-should-give-your-2-0-project-a-needed-boost/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Notguilty Posted August 23, 2010 Author Share Posted August 23, 2010 Thanks for the help. I am definitely going to return my hc-300. Looks like the hc-300c is the same price but is just a better product. I don't know why m salesperson did not tell me about this. :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogdvr Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Because he found out about it the day you did?Brent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILoveC4 Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Or because he had a few HC300's sitting around as he was trying to figure out what to do with them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Notguilty Posted August 23, 2010 Author Share Posted August 23, 2010 In hind sight, it was actually just the fact that the guy did not know anything about the product. I purchased the HC-300 at Best Buy and the guy who sold it to me was no expert. It is water under the bridge at this point as I am returning the product and getting the HC-300c. When I called the sales guy he said that was no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
