    Since the dual gig ati 5870 is only for the i5/i7 processors in the m17x (on the Alienware website) is it possible to upgrade the the dual 260m with a q9000 processor?
    Simply put: I want the Ati Radeon Mobility 5870 in my build and I am wondering if it is possible or if it is just an impossible dream?
    My build:
    M17x
    Q9000 @ 2.00Ghz
    Nvidia 260m GTX Sli
    4Gb @ 1333 Mhz
