Since I won't be doing anything super graphic intensive, would this still be a problem?

Nope, it's not a problem. The 650m is still a good card with the slower GDDR3 memory. I just thought I should mention it because if you're looking for the highest graphical performance with that card you'd want the GDDR5 memory. The difference is likely not to be too drastic anyway.

Ordered mine on Friday from newegg.

Found this link to a forum in singapore where someone did some benchmarks last week

[User Review] MSI GE60 - www.hardwarezone.com.sg


I downloaded the GE60 manual and it says supports up to 16GB of ram but everything else says 8. I wonder if they are going to support it in the future.

Where do you see that the max is 8GB? I only see 16GB max on every source I can find. Even on the second page of the thread you posted the guy posts a photo of two brand new 8GB sticks, presumably they are for his new laptop.

Hrm the only place I've seen it say up to 16gb is the manual, this presss release from them says up to 8gb, MSI Global ? News

I saw that guys post about ram but the pic was to blurry for me to be sure they were 8gigs.

Does the chart on the above page mean up to 8gig size per slot? Hope so, want to run a lab on this when I'm not gaming

Eh, press releases are probably one of the most unreliable sources of information. They most definitely meant 8GB per slot. All the boutique shops that have this model for configuration let you order 16GB. The guy who does the mini-review ordered his with 8GB, so it seems logical that his upgrade was 2x8GB sticks. In his invoice you can see that the item ordered is an 8GB stick.

There's no way that a laptop with the most up to date chipset just released has a max of 8GB.

That's awesome to know. I'm going to order myself 2x8GB, I had it in the cart at newegg but removed it because I wasn't 100% sure.

Thanks for the info, can't wait for tomorrow . To bad the wife and I have baby delivery classes until 8pm tomorrow argh!

[autobulb]

[chiznitz]

Sorry this took so long autobulb....things got hectic at work!

I only had time to do PCUID and Furmark:

FurMark (Burn-in benchmark 1920x1080 with AA off) read a score of 960, 10 FPS and a max temp of 75 Celsius.

During this test CPUID read a min temp of 45 Celsius (after watching an hour long series) and a max of 83 Celsius.

I couldn't open the other link you offered and don't have time at the moment...just wanted to give you what I could because I know it sucks to wait!

Hope this helps!
