    More accurately, only some Sager, Dell and Alienware? (not sure about this) users have done so. You could certainly try though. There's a thread on it somewhere.

    As to OP's question, it depends on what configuration.

    The P series outperforms the base or 8700M GTconfigurations for the M15X, and the 8600M SLI configuration for the M17X.
