GeForce GT 555M Review
GeForce GT 555M is one of the 3 variants of the fast-middle-class mobile GPU still based on the 2010 Fermi architecture.
It's based on the Fermi GF106 Core and offers 144 Shader Processing Units, 24 TMUs and 24 ROPs on a 128-bit memory interface of 1.5GB DDR3. The central clock runs at 590MHz and the memory clock operates at 900MHz. Expect a power consumption of up to 35 Watts.
Its performance is above the average and actually higher than the GDDR5 variant thanks to the higher SPUs, TMUs and ROPs count and because extra bandwidth does not benefit this GPU largely and so the GDDR5 is essentially bottlenecked by the GPU's processing power.
Therefore expect to run some modern demanding games at high settings with fluent frame rates (30+) using a 1080p resolution.

It depends on whether it's screwed or soldered. What would you like to change it to?

or maybe make my fans run faster.... i dunno :/
Pip

Hum...First check if it's screwed or soldered. Then, check it's size. It can be MXM or MXB for example. There was a website that provided this info on some GPUs but I don't remember it any more :(
I am almost sure the bus interface for GT 555M is MXM and so is, for example, GTX 680M so...
I doubt you can increase the fan's speed manually. You would probably have to buy a cooling pad though...meh.

I'd stick with 720p rather then 1080p with this GPU :)

Zheraya yes there is no difference between the 1.5 GB and the 2 GB version or the 1 GB for that matter.

My GT 555M has a 2gb video memory, here it says 1536 mb, which I assume is equal to 1,5 gb.. is there any way to change this?

btw the 555m does not have a 1180mhz core clock speed :P

Notebook check lists it as 590-753 MHz
