sorry for noob question.. can i upgrade my graphic card for m14x r2 ? means that i need to replace new motherboard?

Nope the GT650M is soldered on the motherboard. Even u replace a new motherboard with Dell, it will come with same GT650M only.

need more tester on this 314.14 beta driver :3

Alienware X51 demand in malaysia must be so low that they still do not release the GTX660 flavor. The chat agent from dell already knows me by name as the guy who keeps bugging her for any update.

I even tried asking if the 240W PSU can be "upgraded" to the 300W one so we can do the upgrade by ourselves, but still don't have that option as well.

Who else here is waiting for the Alienware X51 with GTX660?

put me in the list as a proud owner of m17x - nebula red

what specs ?

i choose the m17x r4 third configuration the one with the 3d display

but i opt out the 3d for a normal one

cant remember everything

highest processor i7-3840QM Processor
680m gpu
8gb ram (upgrade next time)
raid 0 1Tb X 2 HDD
no bluray (can upgrade next time)

i believe this machine can last me for quite some time,so next time when needed can upgrade the ROM and RAM

got a nice 10% discount - about 1k liao and a free orion backpack

Wow, its been so long and my name is still here, And I'm still a proud owner of M17x R1 ( The grand daddy of M17x kind )

Now this laptop serve me as watching movies/series. Still serves me well.

so soon to "dump" ur r1 bro...

Can't game further than AC brotherhood man. And I'm having a GPU problem which seems to have no solution. Thats why I'm jumping ship to custom desktop.

so young then have to retire ur r1

Can't stand anymore with laptop.

should take the 3d model. as 120hz model will impress u

no la...one thing i intend to use external monitor....

so no need 3d or 120hz

well, maybe u think is useless to have 120hz, but once u use it u will never come out from there. i would suggest to get those high resolution monitor as it doesnt really fit by those games.

guys my Alienware M17xR4 heat sinks for both CPU and GPU are fine but I can get them replace by dell in warranty. Should I get them replaced? I am scared what if the temperature shoots up then :S?

i checked bro,malaysia alienware no 120hz for m17x...only 3d display
