well i have a new laptop for business...and a ton of gaming. i just received my new alienware M17x today. i had a few customizations done to it, the specs are,
windows vista home premium 64bit w/sp1 intel core 2 extreme quad qx9300 2.53ghz (12mb cache, 1066mhz fsb) (pre overclocked, benchmark shows it at 2.91ghz) dual nvidia geforce gtx 280m 2gb - sli enabled 17 inch wide xga+ 1440x900 (900p) 8gb dual channel ddr3 at 1333mhz 500gb 7,200rpm raid 1 3dmark score: 15391 sm2.0 score: 6230 hdr/sm3.0 score: 6595 cpu score: 2566 this thing has some serious horsepower. it has 3 separate gpu's, the 2 nvidia gtx280m gpu's can be turned off to save on power. i have a clock of 79fps for crysis warhead on high settings. 113fps for battlefield 2, and call of duty 4 runs flawlessly at max settings with 102fps. this thing is insane. what is really cool about this though is it has facial recognition so if my wife were to sit down in front of it it will automatically switch over to her account. the only down side of this laptop though is it gets hot very fast. so i had to buy a cooling pad for it. i guess thats what you get for buying a system that is pre overclocked. i dont know if anyone here has any experience with alienware's but i want to remove vista and put on win7 but before i do i need to know if it will even install and how hard it will be to get the alienware utilities and drivers installed. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "INTEL 9XX Gaming" group.
