So. When did Dell stop offering the M1710? I was just on the site and only XPS Gaming system is the 1730. And at first the 1730 came with dual 8700 and now it comes with a single and he dual is a 300 dollar upgrade. When did this happen?

Actually they are the same card. The 8700 is just a slightly overclocked 8600.

Yeah the brand is really not that important. In these laptops they are all gonna have the same speed as far as latencey goes. As long as it has a lifetime warranty go for it. I bought Corsair cause at the time it was the cheapest.

As long as it will run without crashing out i will be happy. It was crashing out at stock speed with the dell drivers.

Well after doing some gaming last night my xps crashed with an error #m1004. Your system has shutdown due to excessive heat. I just got off the chat line with a dell rep and after some arguing and running tests that showed no problems...

Search for a different firmware upgrade. Don't search for it using the Dell part number. Search for it using Manufacturer Name and model #. I know it's an NEC drive but include the model# in your search. There are many firmware upgrade...

Double click the file just like you would with any exe file. It will launch the program telling you it will flash your drive. Click ok. Should only take a few seconds. It will result in either success or failure

For some reason I thought Texas Stadium opened in the mid to late 80's. Should be a real good game today vs the Giants. One of those games that is impossible to call.

It makes sense for the colts to build a new one. The RCA dome was built back in the 70s. And it is the smallest capacity stadium in the NFL
