    I am asking a total noob question, I'm and clevo/sager and asus laptop guy, those are what I know. I was offered an mx17r3 with low specs, but was wondering if all mx17r'3s are crossfire able? I know there are mx17's with duels etc, but im wanting to mod the holy hell out of this, and I was thinking duel 7970's because I can get a hell of a deal on them. Specs on the mx17r3 are as followed;

    2630m i7
    4 gigs of ram (doesn't matter)
    320 gig hdd (also doesn't matter)
    6870m

    Thanks guys,
    Asha
