We put it up against solutions from Eurocom and AVADirect to find out what CrossFire can do."</em></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/lpt/auto/1285950794.usr20447.jpg" style="border: 0px solid #d2d2bb;" /></p><p>While the integrated graphics market is heating up with the upcoming release of Sandy Bridge, they do not hold a candle, or even a burnt out match against the giants that house not one, but two video cards.&nbsp; These babies are the peak of mobile gaming, able to run the most demanding of games with the highest settings.&nbsp; Coupled with a Core i7-920XM CPU, there is probably very little that the Alienware M17x cannot do.&nbsp; Of course, something this powerful comes at a very powerful price, and you probably will not see many of them around even at LAN parties.&nbsp; That is, if LAN parties still exist.&nbsp; I have not been to one myself for years.&nbsp; Anyone still hip on the local gaming scene, or has voice chat devastted the market?</p>
