hi guys, new Wii owner here.

i've got a korean set LKM107xx Wii running Neo Gama R7, whatever that is. I tried to find more info about it but all i can find is installation guide.

question
1) does this mean i have a soft-mod wii?
2) mine has "softchip", "home brew channel", "neo gamma" and "gamma/backup channel", from day 1 so is this becoz its been modded? does the original/un-modded wii have this?
3) anyone know the "official" website so i can read up more about this neo gamma thing? what it does, latest release, etc..
4) when i bought this wii, the shop told me its a new revision of the wii, and thats why he's charging me RM50 more. anyone can tell me wats the difference between this revision or did i get cheated?
5) so if i were to buy games in the future, do i get PAL or NTSC or USA version of the games?

i know it sounds like a stupid question, but what else can i use a wii for besides playing games?

such as browse the web, watch dvd, watch divx movie, surf facebook? want to make full use of my wii
