    OK, I'm a complete newb to these forums, and the m17r2 I received yesterday is the first laptop I've bought since my Dell XPS Gen 2 about five years ago.

    I have the 4870 single card in my machine. I'm not all that impressed. I'm not seeing that much of a speed increase over my old XPS Gen 2.

    So I'd like to upgrade by buying a second 4870 and putting it in xfire.

    I'm sure there's a thread around here about someone who has already done this, but if course I can't find it. Spare a link, brother?
