    The Alienware M17 is a very popular notebook in this forum and I'm looking to create a sticky like the M15X sticky:
    http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=266924

    What threads would you guys like to see in it? Threads would have to be useful - guides, driver locations, etc, anything like that. For examples, see the link above.

    Thanks!

    I like the XP selection, Fusion's thread, and it can be built and expanded from there. I'd vote my driver or OC thread..but since I don't have the system anymore, it's difficult for me to test drivers effectively after modding. And I know AW isn't a fan of OCing, but whatever :p

    Yes but put fusions drives/tips/ apps as the sticky and link all the other ones into it. It would be like the master sword of m17 threads. Every thing you would ever need

    Edit: lol if we sticky all of them .... The whole first page would be gone :) why I say pick one and link
