I was wondering: is this model (a) an upgrade or (b) original, as received from MSI? If (a), which parts have been updated?Thank you!

This computer is sold in manufacturer's original sealed box the way it was made. No upgrades were made.

What do you mean by inside info? Someone on another board said that they contacted MSI and they said that it was scheduled for release mid-March. Is that what you mean?

Actually a bios update is required (Bios F5 minimum), though I guess it depends on whether or not this will ship with the updated bios or not.Did you do this build?

I would recommend to update your bios, I just did that and now my Memory chip worked, GREAT! feels like a brand new Laptop!

Sorry, I do not know, actually I still have my mine, it didn't work in my current MB, I need to get another MB, but not sure which one myself, I know the bio is different for this processor, that is why it won't work in my present MB, that has problems.

The cooling on the msi is far superior. It runs nice and cool with its factory oc. I also have the gigabyte windforce and had the nvidia version and this card was the coolest, while being the quietest. Also, MSI has has great software for managing the fans and osd. Get the MSI. That's my opinion from experience.

Hi Nancy As I first told you yes, it makes a little more than a month that I got my MSI 120 and it works perfect and I see that your bro got the same opinion than mine, so everything's cool. In life we all make mistakes but to make the best out of it is to learn from it the most things we can, like this it turns to be no more a mistake but a learning experience. But in that case you've done no mistake. Hear from you when you receive your MSI.

Yes, but as its refurbished its limited to 120 days..however, imho anything thats wrong will become apparent in that time. I am very happy with my refurbished MSI

I got mine used from an owner that used it for heavy mining and gaming, and it has been cool and quiet. It's exhibited no artifacts, so I'd say it's reliable. The MSI version in particular has solid build quality.

I thought the new ones that come with the 1 GB ram have an easy to access ram "window" on the bottom of the computer case. Is that not right?I've been told the upgrade now is very easy, but would like to confirm that... Just pop the little cover off on the bottom of the case and pop the old card out and snap the new one in. Yes?

Can anyone provide the link for the RAM? I don't know much about computers in general and I don't want to buy the wrong ram...Thanks in advance!

It's new but does not come boxed. It comes in a Manufacture Package. This is what companies get when they order 10, 15 or 20000 processors at a time. This is well worth the cost. I have been using mine now for over a year with NO problems what-so-ever. I highly recommend. Super cheap upgrade. Almost forgot . . there is no fan included but they do include heat sink compound. Just use your old heat sink and fan . . . you'll be ok. Be sure to clean all the old compound from the old heat sink.

Mine came in a nice MSI box, not perfect condition but it was in the original packaging
