    Thinking about moving from M15x in sig to the new 17xR3. Assuming I trick out the R3 with the 2.4/3.4 processor, nVidia 460, and non-3d true HD, would I see a significant performance boost?

    Also, if I don't plan on using 3d, will I notice any difference from the 60hz vice 120hz screen?

    Thanks in advance for any insight...
