Hi there,

Alienware owner here, specs are as below:

M17X R2
Processor: -Intel® Core™ i7-720QM Processor (1.60GHz, 6M 1B Cache)
Screen: 17.0" WUXGA 1920 x 1200 - Beyond HD (1200p) - RGB 1 LED (loving the screen)
Memory: 8GB Dual-channel 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM (2 x 4GB)
Hard Disk: 640GB 7.2K SATA HDD RAID 0(2 X 320GB)
Display: Dual - 1GB ATI Radeon Mobility HD 4870

Anyway guys, I'm looking to upgrade my laptop, here's some upgrade I have on my mind.
Processor:
Going to get the i7 920xm 3.2g couple with throttle stop

Memory:
Going to get the SO DIMM 1333 16gb (2x8gb)

Display:
Going to get the 7970m 2 piece (does anybody now where I can buy the cards? I've looked everywhere )

Hard Disk:
Going for SSD, can you suggest the best I can get for my laptop? and whether 2 SSD can be made into a Raid 0 and does the performance differ

I am also looking to upgrade the wifi card, sound card and also coating the laptop with a new set of paint, if I have the time and money to do so la...

any help given is much appreciated guys...

I found the card in ebay...

If I want to use it as crossfire, I would have to buy 2 of these cards right?

Thanks for the info, wonder if Putochip123 got two of them? nvm, I'll ask him...
