Well, it runs L4D2 wonderfully, no stutter even when being swarmed by 200 zombies, installing RF:G right now. Tomorrow I will install RE:5 and Dead Space. I will keep you posted. BTW this is the performance with 3GB of RAM, I expect my 4GB kit to arrive tomorrow, it should boost me up to 6.0 for WER.

Re: Alienware M15x Core i7 Review @ DH
I installed RF:G last night, it ran GORGEOUS! I just got rid of my HP Firebird 802 with SLI 9800GS cards, it ran ok, I had to turn down the graphics settings. However, on my M15X it looked nearly photographic!

If the hardware is all what it is supposed to be, then it must be a software problem or perhaps a BIOS one.

Re: Alienware M15x Core i7 Review @ DH
I read that the M15X has "Stealth Mode" which turns off discrete graphics (this is on Alienware's site). However, I've read in a few places that this isn't possible. Does anybody know the facts?

Stealth mode turns off the Alienware lighting.

Re: Alienware M15x Core i7 Review @ DH
There are no onboard graphics in the M15x, stealth mode throttles down the CPU and GPU to save energy and lower noise.
