    Hey guys, I'm deciding between an M17x and an M18x. I was wondering whether it is possible to get the 6990m crossfired on the M17x-R3, as I saw people's signatures with it, on the R2. Thanks a LOT. :)

    NO. if you have the budget, go with m18x. It's obviously more powerful but significantly heavier.

    I'd find an R2 with the RGB LED with low specs, and then buy two 6970Ms, an ES 920XM, and an SSD. What you have then is a relatively inexpensive monster. My two cents.
