my specs follows:

4gb,1333mhz,ddr3,2x2g
17.3-inch widefhd1920 x 1080 60hz wled
2gb gddr5 amd radeon hd 6970m
320gb 7,200rpm sata-ii hdd

have had ubuntu on previous laptops, new alienware, thought give windows chance, always... has left me in disappointment. always.

has ever had ubuntu on m17x r3?

in advance.

i see nothing cause trouble except video card. open-source drivers work in progress, , proprietary drivers aren't (as in 2d performance, 3d ok).
