    Anyone who knows how long it usually takes for a gfx card to lower in price? I am curious about the possibility of the 6970 dropping a bit.

    Usually anywhere from 2-3 months sometimes a little longer.

    Yea I know what you mean. That's why I upgraded my M17x R3 completely with everything alienware offered. I wish I would have known when the m18x was coming out. I would have gotten that. I would love to have an overclock extreme i7 processor and dual 6970. It would have been a sick setup.
