the m18x is dual channel rite ? y not just get kingston 4gb 1333 and slot in? =P

Change to new GPU for what? Its basically slightly higher clock than what you already owned. Matter of fact, you will not feel the different apart from benchmark result.

How much is your ram now? You can use most of the ram in the market, the different is not a very big gap, too.

Tell you what, if you really want to feel the different - purchase SSD.

R4 is just paying premium for that I rather get R3 which same thing. Process thingy ivy and sandy are just same

Ya lor.

If you still using Core 2 Duo or Core 2 Quad like me, then the upgrade is worth it.

i7 3820
7970
2tb hdd 5400 rpm
rm7.5k

* i have no laptop =D

What about 3d? I dont play games with 3d mode on my desktop, is thr screen any difference?

Well. 120hz is a good panel to use. But still laptop GC too weak. Can't really performance 120FPS on games....

Added on May 5, 2012, 6:04 pmFor raw power 7970 would be nice..... but still AMD driver always be the conflict.
Ur 5400RPM will kill ur system.

yes .. tend to get that 2tb 1st and upgrade ssd my own

7970 also a normal 6990 with a high clock and stream proc. Also not worth getting though. Haha... kapler and and xt takes a time to be launch. Many user get cheated. Haha

7970m got 20k+ in 3D mark vantage while the 6990m only having around 13k

unless u r saying 7970M vs 6990 desktop version =D

7970M & 6990M is a completely different architecture, 40nm vs 28nm not to mention impressive increase in performance & much lower power consumption hence lower temp.
moreover Kepler GTX 660M is ady launched, only 680M is delayed

f***ed. Mistake . Lol. Looked at the wrong thing

well, in NBR forum they said 7970M is almost a GTX 570 desktop performance which is very impressive to me at least
with some OC it can reach a desktop GTX 580 performance!

hope to c the m18x have option for us -> 6970 CF as know they only offer 6950 CF
7970M surpass my 6870 so much

Personally, it is the last thing in my option.

If your spec can play latest game with highest setting >60fps, then 3D screen will be useful.

I rather play normal screen but with native resolution (1920x1200) + highest setting compared to 1440x900 + medium setting for 3D effects.

crazy right. but based on d benchmark in NBR forum its quite possible
wondering how's nvidia gonna respond with 680M

They might came out with something better but ATi will win in term of pricing.

They always win.

just got my M14x from dell,i'm loving it!

mind to state out the spec and price? =P
