    I just called Alienware looking for an HD 3870 for my m15x. The representative I talked to said there where to Ati cards for the m15x. The HD 3870 and the HD 5770. I asked him if there was a mistake, because the HD 5770 is only for the new m15x. But he said several times that I could put it in my first gen m15x? Also he said the HD 3870 is around $450, while the HD 5770 is only $200? Is this true? Or another goof by Alienware/Dell?

    Thanks
