What would you rate my Laptop with its current state and what would you rate my laptop with the Dual 4870s?

Scale 1-10 and PLEASE leave a comment to help me out or what ever. Thanks guys!

The 3870's weren't bad cards, so as is I'd say 7/10. With the 4870's it'd either be an 8 or a 9, since they are pretty much top of the line cards in the notebook world (yes, ATI finally came out with a highend notebook card to compete with NV). I'm not a real big fan of Alienware, so that's what is holding it back from a 10.

I am a huge fan of Sager/Clevo laptops. Unfortunately at the moment, they don't have any offerings with dual GPU setups, so they don't have much that would match/beat the M17 in performance.

Don't get me wrong, it will be a solid performing system. I am just a little wary about flaky support from Alienware.

Also, here is the same system, sold by a different company: http://www.xoticpc.com/force-extre [...] -2495.html

According to www.notebookcheck.net, the 3870X2 can get about 30FPS (AVG?) in Crisis with High settings. I'd imagine that the newer/better 4870's would be able to do better than that.

It's not overlycomplete, but it's about the best out there: http://www.notebookcheck.net/Compu [...] 849.0.html
