Alienware M17x now shipping with dual 1GB ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5870 GPUs

Tossing a pair of GPUs into a single, beastly laptop ain’t nothing new — in fact, Alienware’s own M17x has been offered in such a way since last year — but having said machine arrive at your doorstep with a pair of ATI’s world-beating Mobility Radeon HD 5870s has been downright impossible until now. The earliest of adopters are now reporting (with ear-to-ear grins, to boot) that their dual 1GB HD 5870-equipped M17x machines are finally shipping, and we suspect it’ll only be a matter of time before those CrossFire assisted benchmarks surface to make our existing lappies look patently pathetic. So, hit that inbox once more and tell us if you’ve seen a shipping notification of your own — and if you’ve already got your unit in hand, why not expound with a few opinions on how things are running?
