just got my new Alienware M17x-R2/ i7 920 / 8gb/ ati 5870
I was a little confused about chossing the graphics card
it was either
* Dual 1GB ATI Mobility RadeonTM HD 4870
* Single - 1GB GDDR5 ATI Mobility RadeonTM HD 5870
* CrossfireX 1GB ATI Radeon Mobility HD 5870
I got the crossfireX 1GB 5870 ^.^ i assume i have dual 5870?
Does each one have 1GB or is the total of both 1GB?
I ran 3Dmark06 trial- and got p19075
is that normal?
I just installed bioshock2 and ran everything on high
as i was walking around it seemed choppy....
I'd like to get the most out of this Monster, lets start tweaking!

3Dmark06 result looks normal.
You should get used to your system for a few days before tweaking so you have an idea of a decent starting point in case something goes wrong.
Just arrived! Alienware M17x-R2/ i7 920 / 8gb/ ati 5870
