    Hey guys, I was trying to save money when I bought my laptop, and I only chose the option for a single GPU when I should have gone SLI. Is there any way to add the second card or is it too late? If so, how would I go about it? Also does anyone have the stock alienware backgrounds that come on the computer when you buy it? I reformated and forgot to back those up. Thanks!

    i think you can order the second card from AW, or maybe from mxm-upgrade. the backgrounds should be available as downloads from the AW site.

    Oh ok, so it is possible then. I wonder how much they will charge. I'm sure they will probably ask me for my first born XD Anyways I looked on the alienware site for the backgrounds but they didn't have all of them.

    You should be able to find it in myhive. Its under "personal customization" or something. There is a download that contains all the backgrounds and avatars. I did the same thing and that is where I recovered all those things
