Alienware M17 Packs CrossFireX, Mobile Quad-Core Comments

As a DELL XPS M1730 (2x8800M GTX) owner, I think it's very reasonably priced. Well, in the US at least.

I too have a dell xps m1730 with the 8800's and to be honest i wish i had this alienware :)

Looks alot nicer and alienwares customer service couldnt be any worse than dells!

You have to understand that I've had my computer for about half a year now and that it was more revolutionary when it came out than the M17 is now. It's normal that new and better things come out. Performance wise, two HD 3870s will give you 13055 3DMark's 06 compared to the 12184 that two 8800s give you, so you are not getting that much of a performance boost... But yea, the Alienware looks nice.

I just got an M17 Alienware with this:
