WTH? How you get 16 secs?
Actually.....when I use my laptop with X2 cooler and in an air conditioned room at 16 degrees, I can't feel the heat on the left palm rest at all. LOL

That's after fresh OS installation, disable unused startup programs, some optimizations. thumbup.gif
But after windows update, max i can get is 18s doh.gif

If can get it, the Crucial M4/Intel 510..
If want cheap cheap, OEM Intel X25-M 160GB..

I thought dv6 only has sata2 harddisk connection??
if so, no use get SATA3 SSD as you won't get SATA3 speed, probably you get less then SATA2 speed.
*don't recall where i read this*

if the above is true, Intel 320 is the way to go yo!
*i'm using x25m current. diff with 320 is write speed (320 - 200+mb/s, x25m - 170+mb/s)*
i dont write file much, so just take cheap oem x25m *rm400 only drool.gif drool.gif *

I'm gonna get me a crucial m4 nonetheless, since many people recommend it

m4 is a great drive, for it's performance + price, if you fully utilized it.

sata3 transfer speeds are around 500mb/s range.
if you use it in sata2 connector/motherboard, max you can get is 300mb/s, averagely 270mb/s.
in other words, you are paying more for less performance.
** google "sata3 on sata2 motherboard", you get more info and benches

link below is crucial m4 selling thread, got benches info for sata2 and sata3 ports

Does anyone have issue playing BF3 with the DV6?

My issue is that it crashes to desktop the moment I "try" to play. Not only that, I'm one of the many that has issues with PB.

So yes, I have reinstall both origin and BF but still nothing works. I'm hoping someone here can help me?

Also, it seems AMD drivers are the issue but I want to check in with the people here. Currently I'm on v. 11.11

I wasted 60 bucks buying this game sadly.

EDIT: I recently screwed up my graphic cards. I manage to get most of it fixed, but now I cannot enter into the catalsyt control center and this was after I update to version 11.11c.

Any help on that?

i previous too do have the same problem as you, cannot enter CCC.
maybe you didn't cleanly uninstall the thing.
what i did is as below

- un-install thru CCleaner
- run the installer to un-install the components
- boot to safe mode, use DriverSweeper to clean leafover components in the system
- re-install HP graphic package
- re-install new AMD graphic package

it works for me thru the steps above....
