    because I am considering getting a setup with a 260 GTX card ...

    so I'd just tought I'd check out the gaming performance of this GPU before going any further ...

    so it all checks out quite well ... not too shabby and not too great either ...

    :)

    the sli 280 is seriously out of my league ...

    let alone the 260 sli ...

    which is why i am considering the single 260 option ...

    but i am wondering if dell could install just a single 280 on the M17x ???

    :confused:

    no they won't.

    what i am saying that if you are interested in the sager. it comes with 280m standard instead of 260m. and there is a big price difference if you are living outside of the US.

    you should compare prices before you jump the gun.

    well the problem with the sager setup is mainly on the warranty ...

    if anything happens to the sager ... i need to ship it all the way back to the US and get it fixed ... which is rather painful on its own ...

    :(

    This is a warning - do not post huge images or even worse, quote them. I have a 1920x1200 screen resolution and I have to scroll. Posting huge images is bad forum etiquette.

    Either thumbnail or hyperlink images only. Thank you.

    since the GPU is the main culprit when it comes to getting bottleneckings even before the cpu becomes maxxed out ... I was wondering if anyone knows how many gigahertz into the CPU run before the GPU become bottlenecks ???

    pardon my question ... if it sounds a bit stupid ...

    Can you order stuff from other U.S. retailers and have it sent to Singapore? Someone up here just put a link to www.samsclub.com has a nice M17x 260sli setup for only $2200. Dont know what shipping and taxes would be like though.
