    About to order an M17x but I have one problem. Is there much of a difference between the 2630QM and the 2720QM to justify the $150 upgrade? I will only be using the laptop or game and movies. I also don't think I will be purchasing 1600 RAM anytime soon. Would i see a noticeable frame rate increase in games if i were to get the 2720QM?

    Thanks.
