    Well 5.9 points is a max for HDDs, you can only get higher with an SSD.

    You shouldn't be having any problems. The only problem for a08 as of the moment is that it limits ssd's to sata 2 speeds. But like most problems you'll never know until you've used your pc for some time.

    One thing you should be worried about is updating your gt 555m drivers. There are plenty of informative threads to read on that. Maybe someone can make a guide to updating. I wan't to make one but since i haven't personally had the problem and fixed it, people who have would be better suited for the task.

    i don't think th 3gb and 1gb card gives a definitive difference in performance while playing games. try opening a new thread and provide more information such as your gpu drivers, the game, game setting, framerates, etc.

    Default M14x Issues and Fixes

    I have downloaded the A08 bios but I am not sure I should install it. I am not having any issues with my M14x.

    Suggestions?

    The AlienFX should be the only way for that... if it really doesn't light up, you better call tech support... sometimes the LEDs are effed up...
