Hey!
I have now an alienware M17 laptop for the last year, and i have noticed that my FPS is quite low with the PMDG. I was thinking of getting an NVIDIA Geforce GTX 260M to fill in the empty slot next to my ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3870. Is it good together on an M17 and is it worth the money?
Thanks,
Nikita

Mixing Nvida and ATi cards will give you headaches ..... if you are going to buy the NVIDIA Geforce GTX 260M then your best bet is to remove the ATI card completely and only use the Nvida card.

Sorry, can't help you there.....try google search or amazon .... maybe the 260M is outdated, search Nividia's website

You can get a GTX 460 for about 200 bucks on New Egg, better deal for you.
Cheers
