    I'm thinking about getting the m17x with dual 9800gt cards but with the T8100 cpu. Does anybody have this set up? What kind of gaming performance are you getting or what should I expect?

    ok. guess the m17x isn't that popular. I'm asking would there be a great significance in gaming(dual 9800GT's) fps if I go with the T8100 (2.1ghz cpu with 3mb cache) instead of the T9300 (2.53ghz cpu with 6mb cache)?

    your better off with the 9300.
    there are many posts regarding the m17x already...you may want to look thru several pages to get your answers as they are there already.
