    Just noticed that Alienware changed the 580M upgrade back from 150 to 550 on the m17xr3

    Hope none of you who wanted the 580M missed out on the cheaper pricing

    Still not compatible for 3D, otherwise I would've so jumped on that.

    I just thought some people might want a cheaper graphics card. Earlier the 580m was cheaper than the 6970 which is also not 3d compatible, but you get a better graphics card for less.
