Hi!
Last September I bought an Alienware M17x. It's more of the basic system; Core 2 Duo T9600 @2.8Ghz.. 4Gig ram @1,333, 1920x1200 monitor, one GTX 260M card.....
Anyhow, with this configuration, could I upgrade it to an Intel Core 2 Extreme Quad QX9300 @ 2.53 Mhz?
I'm not planning on doing it now by all means. Maybe a couple years from now...maybe.
I guess I should ask....with my configuration (mother board) can I upgrade it to anything that Alienware offers now? How about the i7 processors?
By the way, the M17x is running excellent, thought I did get the Blue Screen of Death the second day I had it, and had to use the Alien Respawn a couple weeks after owning it. Besides that, it's running awesome!
Oh, just to mention, I use this computer mainly for CAD work (AutoCAD, Inventor, Solidworks.....). Maybe once in awhile I play Fallout3, but that's it for games.
Thank you in advance!!
Mike
