    Two questions guys,

    1.) I know SLI has this issue called micro stuttering, but what if I go for a single ddr5 gt 650 with an optical drive, will I still get micro stuttering since is is SLI ready but not running on dual gt 650m?

    2.) Second one, can you test something for me about keyboard ghosting and if it exist on the y500. I'm mainly interested in the following 3 key combinations.

    1.) W+E+Spacebar
    2.) Q+W+Spacebar
    3.) Q+W+D

    The link to test the keyboard for ghosting issue is below, basically when all 3 are pressed, all 3 keys should light up and if it doesn't, it has kb ghosting issue.

    Thanks guys

    Hi

    I have the Y400 and found no ghosting with any of those key combinations.

    If you go with one 650M you wont get any micro stuttering. Even with SLI you hardly notice it. I havent anyway.

    I had the one gt650 + optical bay , and it works very well on games , then i sold it and buy the sli version i notice the micro stuttering but it very hard to notice plus is even better at graphics and gaming ( you can disable it and its gone)
