    Hey guys i need your help im holding off on buying my m14x untill i know what one of the two gpu options to get. if there is any advantage to get the 3gig over the 1.5 gig, even if it's 1 fps im going to get it, as dumb as that sounds thats just the way im wired lol. can you guys post some benchmarks of your m14x systems so we can see if there are any differences. thanks guys! :)

    They didn't advertise anything other than the memory difference. What various non-technical reps spew out in chat sessions isn't exactly binding.
