    Hi all, can you tell me if this motherboard is for the Alienware 17 (2014, 880m) :

    http://m.ebay.fr/itm/261789479928

    It's look like the same but the part number is 2XJJ7 and I've seen on other thread that Alienware 17 motherboard part number is GR02H. I hope you can help me! :)

    yes.. both are mxm 3B so no problem about switching between amd and nvidia. As you have an nvidia, you can use 3D or not 3d screen.
    I don't remember if heatsink is the same for nvidia and amd but i think yes.
