Differences between the 1000 and 1400:
- On the DECR1400 you cannot use: Performance monitoring functions (libperf, libprof, Tuner for PS3)
- for SPU: PC sampling, Performance counters, Bookmark, RAW SPU support
- for RSX: Signal Trace, User Events.
- DECI3 is limited to one protocol and a data exchange size of 65535 bytes.
- The two GbLAN´s share the same MAC ID and cannot be used in the same network segment.
- In the 1000, the GbLAN DEVLAN is connected to the Communication Processor, in the 1400 it is connected to SouthBridge.
Differences between Reference and Debug and/or Retail:
- Display settings: D-Sub (XGA/SXGA/WXGA) can be set
- Install other OS not supported

Note: S prefix can be attached to the second part of the SKU number to indicate the unit is specifically for trade shows. E.g. DECH-S2500A. There won't be a TEST logo on top to visually resemble a retail unit. It is however, functionality wise still a TEST unit.
