    Due to the posts on this forum, it seems possible to upgrade the Alienware M17X R2's 5870 Crossfire to the 7970M graphics card. But just for future reference when I do upgrade it, what would be the process of upgrading it? What do I need to buy? What's a good place to buy it from? How do I install the graphics card successfuly.

    (I accidentally made this thread at the wrong place so Admin, you can just move this in the 'Alienware')
