    I searched through the forums and the general info thread and didn't see anything about it. I'm about to acquire a m17x which only has a single 260m card in it right now, will I be able to add another 260m in the future to run it in sli, or could I add a different video card down the road? I'm really excited to get it btw, first alienware I will ever own!

    Yes you would have to get a card that has been flashed as secondary/slave for then second slot and has the SLI cable..

    You can change out to the ATIs as well or 280's.. all up to you..
