    2 Questions:
    Is this card compatiable with M17x R2 ?
    Where can I get one without buying the R3 ?

    TIA.

    1) No one knows for sure. I'd guess, very unlikely - a BIOS update may be needed along with modified drivers.

    2) When the card is officially available you can get it from Dell directly (recommended if you intend to use it in R2) or from Sager/Clevo resellers.
