everything is up to date.. u can play it out of the box
very normal indeed.. smile.gif
1) All G55Vw comes with GTX660M 3D or NON 3D...
2) Don't forget to always manual set your power setting to HIGH PERFORMANCE
3) Need to know which games runs on DX10 or DX11 .
4) The G55VW comes with almost everything updated. Only need to PLug n PLay.
even though you buy vpn.. you must know what is the function of a vpn..

1) it's not for letting you download exceeding the quota.. it's for a secure line
2) most vpn does not support DIGI, U Mobile, YES broadband.. MOSTLY Celcom, Maxis, P1 W1max

Nope, warranty according to one of our forumer and a professional since he already did surgery to his very new G55VW is only on the heatsink.

If you're upgrading RAM or changing the 1TB HDD to SSD .. It's on the user accessible slot, no harm.

Different story if you're inserting MSATA (which is very very non user accessible) or extra 2 more slot ram (part time user accessible)

Sandy Bridge onwards, Sata 3. Sata2 is backward compatible.

I mean the present HDD in g55 connected to sata 2 right?
I did some calculation sata 2 has 3Gb/s bandwith that means it's about 375MB/s. Current SSD comes with 550MB read/505MB write(aproximate la) that means removing HDD and setting new SSD won't give too much of a improvement(relative la) if slot is sata 2.
So i'm hoping user available slot is sata 3. is it? or sata 2?
p.s. thanks for you reply

Ur idea is wrong. The motherboard supports Sata 3 by default.
It all depends on the hard disk/ssd sata type u plug in.

You might want to rephrase that, Intel 520 series is the best all rounder if you were to compare with OCZ Vertex 3 and Corsair GT. Much better than crucial M4.

I do agree Intel 520 is better(+2 more years of warranty compared to other competitors and better performance) than M4 but barely better than vertex 3. anyway as for me the main factor is price.
