Hello all!
Was just thinking the other day about upgrading to the i7 2960xm. Does anyone know if it is compatable with the M17x R3?
If so is it as straight forward as taking the out the old processor and sticking the new in (not forgetting to re-paste it) and boot it up?
Feel free to discuss too!
Thanks
Jordan

It will work out fine, what do you have right now??

Hey. The same as you the 2860QM, I know there isn't really alot between the two, but I'd always fancied an extreme, but it wasn't an option Dell gave out :-( .
Nice to hear it is compatable. Is it straight forward though? Like, take out old one, insert new one, add thermal paste and boot up? -

dude, 580m is 40nm, and it is old tech already, I am talking about gtx 600m family, well, anyway, if you have a lot of money, go for it

enjoy man! definitely give 580m a try if you want, I don't think 680m will be out very soon, and 580m is THE graphics card
