    I'm just wondering how an Nvidia quadro FX 3600M compares to the other graphics cards on alienware laptops. i.e. Dual 3870's or a single or dual GTX 260,280M

    the quadro is a card optimized for CAD and 3D modelling work. hardware-wise, it's either a 9800m-gts or -gt, can't quite recall which.
