Software
MSI provides several software applications with the P55-GD65. We will take a quick look at their Control Center and Live Update 4 programs.
MSI Control Center
MSI’s Control Center offers a variety of functions from monitoring information to Windows based overclocking. The application worked quite well after we downloaded the latest version on the website. Realtime changes can be made to the base clock and five primary voltages. Changes to memory settings require a reboot.
Live Update 4
The Live Update 4 application will check your system and then MSI’s primary website for updates to the BIOS and various applications. The user can then choose to download and install the updates or not. We downloaded our BIOS update manually as the primary website was still showing a BIOS revision down one level from what we used in testing. However, our BIOS was provided in the support forum section and not in the BIOS section for the GD65.
DPC Latency
Our test used the Core i5/750
at stock settings with 8GB of memory installed with timings set to 6-6-6-18 at
DDR3-1333.

It's on the front page. A change up in the article layout from all indications. It's different but good in my opinion as there is no need is reading the same stuff twice.Minion4Hire - Sunday, October 11, 2009 - link
I really liked it. Keeps everything concise. You get a full synopsis on one page, and yet all the benchmarks and hard numbers are still available if you want to compare. It's really a great format for those who just want to get the feel of a product; they don't have to skim page after page looking to compile useful relevant snippets of information.Again, I REALLY like this format. And I'm a benchmark junkie! :D
