    I honestly doubt it... The M17 sadly is now a thing of the past because of the Dell Alienware merger.. Also with all the bios revisions the machine had i dont think they could totally nail down the problem but i know they tried ..

    I have run into far less stutter on my M17 then i have on the M17x if that makes you feel any better :)..

    I could play for many hours without issue as where the M17x is well lets say a little more problematic ...

    the fix the M17x is getting is for the DPC latency issue, not the stutter

    Sorry
