I went through a chat with a tech earlier this week through dell/alienware. I told them of my desire to have a 4GB video card, like some other makers have like Origin. The tech said the M17x will work with the nVidia 690M. Chat...

That's interesting qhn, I was putting the 15" macbook pro as an option to upgrade here, but not anymore. I'm really hoping that Alienware is the first to offer something with a dense display windows-wise, I'm ready to upgrade!

I'm curious about the 4GB RAM configurations that are available on the M1710. There is a note saying less than 4GB will be available, which I believe is 3.2 GB due to Windows XP. What about Vista? Will that then have 4GB?
