my budget can until 8.5k like that only..
so with the specs i mention just now is almost 8.5k

Mr.Doctor, I think you got the "older" model of M17x right ?

from my knowledge which i asked dell , i am allowed to upgrate my own parts outside and it wont void my warranty, however , parts that we change ourself wont be warrantied by dell thats all if anything were to happen to it @@ i specially ask them  this when i wanted to upgrate QX9300 and adding in CF 5870

since my budget not enuf..
i think choose the T9600 enuf..
coz warranty more important..

and we cant catch up the latest tech.. tech is comes fast..

debit can deal transaction of more than rm4k?

from this statement, I assumed that m15x is R2 ? hehe 

tats very true    but i think la, that person would probably be skillful if he dare to open up his AW  its seriously a compact design inside , haha.

Im having dell change mine to the R2 if my system still have problems after it returns later this evening ... will call in consumer service this time to mean business 

So mr doctor, u prefer me to get the specs that i mention just now with RM 8.5k

or

the AW-R2 with
        Metallic Space Silver Base
Intel? Core? i7-720QM Processor (1.6GHz,4 Cores/8 Threads,turbo up to 2.8GHz, 6MB Cache)
Genuine Windows? 7 Home Premium 64bit (English)
3-year Premier Service with 3-year CompleteCover
17.0" WideUXGA 1920 x 1200 - Beyond HD (1200p) - RGB LED
6GB (1 x 2GB + 1 x 4GB) 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM
640GB 7200RPM SATA Hard Drive (320GBx2)
8X DVD + /-RW Drive with DVD + R double layer write capability
SLI Dual - 1GB ATI Radeon Mobility HD 4870
9-cell Primary Battery
RM 8800

ill tell u 2 go for this anytime if u realy get this price = = 1st R2 here also =p

so R1 or R2 should i go??
u guys owning a AW, thats why asking u guys for more info ..
the GTX 280 SLI can run good with T9600 onot?
seems mr doctor disagree with the i7..

honestly i duno , lolx not that eager for the R2 also = = but if my system realy is giving me problems , im slotting in a 920 from dell    i personally 280 sli > 4870 cf 

so whether the R1 with T9600 satisfy with the Dual GTX280?

i dont mind topping up as long as i get a workable system , but dont expect me to top up the full price, LOLX !!!

oh , they are gonna get much worse then that trust me if that time comes ....

yeap yeap @@

hmm , seems like we gonna have a v3 soon -o

hmm urs is quite fine =p but i suppose is only running on 1 card ? My frens single 280 is also running on 40fps average there...
I had mine send back 1 reason was also because im running at 18-24 fps =_= driver and everything uninstalled and reinstalled =.=

hmm , what kinda shuttering issues u mean ?

Damn,
I would have joined the M17x users if prices were like this now. Dang.... So friggin cheap it has become. This normally signals the arrival or something new..... Hmmmm.....

Have order my AW m17x R1:

Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor T9600 (2.8GHz/ 1066 FSB/ 6MB Cache)
Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit (English)
3-year Premier Service with 3-year CompleteCover

I am kinda interested in the M15x, anything to take note of If I want to buy

this baby ?

correct  u 1st.. Cy is not Ck.. haha

maybe 2 weeks ++ end of this month..
dunno the actual date..

7k, I plan to upgrade to 260M, however I am afraid  that this will not be a wise choice. Because the CPU is kinda low.

hmm , im not sure , just read up and forgot lolx xD Just got back my system , they put in A03 bios for me = ="

I dont really think thats true,as thats what i used to say last year when quad core just released.Now,quad core has become quite important in gaming.

I would still take i7 if i want something more future proof and have lots of cash to spend.
