    Has anyone tried the Dell 6990m in the m15x? How will it work? I have the opportunity to buy one, and was wondering how this would pair up with a 740qm...

    Thanks

    There's an ES that works, and we all assume the Dell versions will work too. The trick is finding one, I haven't been able to yet.

    It would pair up nicely with a 740qm. It has problems with overclocked XM CPUs but otherwise, totally good :)
    @Johnny, if you do get one, dibs on your 5850.
