    I'm thinking of adding a second GTX 260m to my Alienware M17x and enabling Dual SLI. Two questions. 1. Does this void the Dell Warranty? 2. Is it easy to install by yourself and do I have to do anything special to Enable the Dual SLI?
    Specs:
    Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor T9600 (6M Cache, 2.80 GHz, 1066 MHz FSB)
    4gb RAM
    Single GTX 260m
