    Thinking of upgrading my m18x

    So why am I posting here you say? Because I want to migrate my m18xR1's 2x580 GTXs to my old trusty m17xR2! :)

    My laptop currently has the single 5870 which has worked a treat without problems, but is definitely starting to show its age in current games.

    Is this upgrade even possible? I've seen some post about 7970 upgrades, so I would imagine the 580 mxm form factor should fit as well right?

    Any thoughts, recommendations would be greatly appreciated. TIA & TGIF!
