    I also have one question...

    I cant find anywhere where it tells me if the m5500 is Pci-E or not?

    Can anyone tell me if this laptop uses the PCI-E technology?

    Thanks!

    yours has 6600 right? so its pci-e

    PCIE are
    all vid cards for nvida starts with 6 or 7 (6200, 6600, 7800 etc)
    all ATI starts with x (x300, x700, x1800 etc)

    Hope the driver hurries it to your doorstep, Chari! It'll be nice to find out if Alienware has improved, and I hope that your notebook rocks out.

    Charivari, your Go6600 is PCI-express. :)

    And, we would really be interested in hearing your thoughts when you get it! Not many people have an Alienware around here.
