    Can I send my m9750 notebook back to Alienware and have them install a Blu-Ray drive in it?

    Most likely. I honestly don't see why not since they're willing to upgrade GPUs. It's best to call and find out.

    I don't think so... I believe that the m9750 can only hold up to 2 8700 Gts... but I heard that SLi of the 7950gtx was actually a better combo. Weird... anyway good luck with the bluray drive. :)

    Yeah same thing here. for now atleast the 8800GTX SLI gives 1-8% benefit only. not worth spending your whole stash on
