yes, ive read several threads about the GTX680 being the highest "supported" MXM card on the M17X R3, but, i have yet to Find a 100% confirmation, because, my friend plans to go Ebay hunting and buy also the 2960XM, and a decent Gpu (would cost 300$ max) and is still way cheaper than buying a  "new" gaming laptop

so would you say the 680m will be a 100% secure buy?, the Alienware already has the 3heatsink 100 w tdp cooler, and the 240w adapter so its all setup

As I said many times, post a dedicated thread with your question there on NotebookReview Forum where many AW Owners surely can help you better
