    I'm getting my m15x soon and was wondering what upgrades you all have added.

    I got the bare minimum on the HD and Ram, but got the 8800, 2.5cpu, and AlienFX.

    I'm thinking about getting two 500gb hard drives for the smart bay and main hard drive. (I have a bunch of goodies)

    Also thinking about the X-fi sound card (had the old Audigy 2zs and loved it on my old dell 8600)

    Any opinions would be helpful as well!
