i finally found some benchmarks to compare the x300 and 9700. yikes, the 9700 is definitely better. of course the 6800 Go Ultra smokes them both. x300: http://graphics.tomshardware.com/graphic/20041222/vga_charts-06.html 9700...

ike, I could build my own desktop, but I won't for two reasons right now. first, i already have an alienware that is holding up quite well. 2nd, i'm in the miltary and go places all time. other buds bring their laptops, and we get time to game it up. so, i want my laptop to have decent...

Thanks for the quick response guys. I think I'm going with your recommendation then. Kind of bugs me though because I own an alienware desktop and wanted to continue with them with the laptop. I even chatted with them yesterday, but they were very non-helpful when I asked about this...

Which of the following would you get for gaming and general use? 1) http://www.alienware.com/Configurator_P...C-LT-AREA51-M-7700&SubCode=SKU-DEFAULT 2) http://configure.us.dell.com/dellstore/....aspx?c=us&cs=19&l=en&oc=iXPS2S1&s=dhs 3)...
