    ok so i decided to go back and recustomise my alienware laptop, now the m15 only allows you to choose the 1GB ATI Mobility Radeon 5730 Graphics Card and not the 5850 anymore, why is this, and is there a way i can get them to give me the 5850, or is this gfx better then 5850 :confused: :confused: :confused:

    No it seems that the M15x is a dying breed. You can no longer select it with anything other than the basic graphics card. If I were you I'd head over to the outlet and see if there are still some M15x lying around, or get the M17x R3. It is newer tech.
