    I saw that the R3 was back up on the Canadian website. When I was configuring the R3 I saw that the 2GB GDDR5 AMD Radeon™ HD 6970M is not listed :mad: I called Dell and they were not helpful. I couldn't get them to add it to my system or get any information on when it might be available. I guess I will have to wait a while longer.

    I know it will be eventually, but I feel like I am 4 years old and I want it now! lol

    The main reason I posted it on here was for other Canadians that are looking for the 6970 for their R3 don't waste their time calling Dell.

    I was all excited as well, ready to order this morning until I got to that point.

    I am now going for a sager NP8170-S1 with 485m :)
