So Frys.com pretty much SUCKS...Apprently they don't support their own overseas, and if your order is over 250$ they won't ship it. So basically I've switched out the order, the majority I got through newegg and the rest through...

So I finally bit the bullet and bought it all. Picked up the Alienware and extra's from Frys...Should all be here by next week...I'm in Afghan so should take about 7 days. I'll post pics soon as I get it, pretty damn excited, never...

Curious what sort of memory a m17x r2 takes and how many slots it has....One I am getting has 4gb of ram I was looking on new egg found some 8 gb 2 x 4 gb 1333 memory. Curious would this work? How many slots and what speed memory...

Yes Asus laptop prices go down for sure...Alienwares prices do not, consider resale value of them both though...Tough to find a Alienware lose a lot of money until they are 3 generations ahead.

I guess fading, ya have to find the right buyer. Most times when you get up in that price range people are looking for top end vid card, n processor...If your case that sounds like more of a business type laptop which you'd have to find...

Thanks guys, I thought something was off..Doesn't make sense to spend 3k on a top end gaming machine just to find out models from 2 years ago are out performing it.

If your getting 14k with dual 5870s something is seriously wrong. Speaking with the guy yesterday he showed me the dual video cards listed in which it did not show that before. So I'm assuming it should score between 19k and 22k.

Ok so I finally hit the bullet and purchased a m17x. Had my girl back home ship it out to me in Afghan... Basic config with i7 720, dual 5870s, blue ray, 4 gigs ram, 500gb hard drive and the wuxga screen. However I'm looking at...

Hmm well it only scored a 14,100 on 3dmark06 sooo it should def only have 1.
