I just need a well running laptop I can build. I am looking at a 8600 series gfx card for it, and a dual core intel. Bigger the screen, the better. I'm considering an alienware but I know I can get the same stuff, for a lot cheaper.
The one thing I saw in reviews that scared me a bit was that it performed poorly in Directx10. I know that isn't a big deal right now, but 2 years down the road, will it be? Will upgrading the processor change that?
