    hey guys, I have noticed some of you mentioning these new cpu's coming out sometime next year called "sandy bridge". My question is will our current m17x-r2 be able to support this cpu or will alienware be forced to release a new m17x (r3). I hope we are able to use them cause I only got this m17x a little while ago lol

    tehy will be forced to release a R3 but don't hold your breath for it sandy bridge is a great architectural change so expect lots of bug not held promises and etc so if you got a maxed R2 it's not worth to hold your breath for it
