Re: m17x and Windows 7
Lets answer some of these questions.
I'm running the Windows 7 RC. everything seems to be working fine just dont know what this coprocessor listed in device manager is.
To get SLI to work you need to install the Nvidia Chipset Drivers. All the drivers on the Dell CD work for Windows 7.
Right now im overclocked to 3.06ghz gonna monitor the heat maybe go alittle higher.Alienware M17x-R2

Re: m17x and Windows 7
Who knows... Maybe they gave us the same BIOS of the pre-production model with FSB settings and the Q9000 will show his true powers Originally Posted by kilthro

Re: m17x and Windows 7
ok. I see where u can change the FSB now. Did u bump up the fsb or raise the multiplier or both? My ram is 1066, so can I go higher than 266 and run stable?
