Ok first off I am not being lazy asking these questions and second please ignore the typos as a internet tablet isn't easy to type on.
Ok going to tell you all a little bout me and then ask stuff. First I know I should get a desktop but it just wont work. I suffer from a kidney issue so a portable power house is what I am looking for. I will be doing some photoshop, bryce renders, converting dvds I get as gifts and of course gaming. I will be getting the largest HDD I can to hold my movies and tv shows for those times I spend in the hospital. My old machine was well bargin crap but I still tweaked it and got it to do most everything including playing americas army for hours at night.
Now I want to get the best bang for my $$$. I can see the ram upgrade would be best done by me.
So should I get the second or highest cpu? Sorry can't remember numbers
Is there much diff in the wifi 1x2 and 2x2?
I have build exp. So taking it apart isn't an issue so should I upgrade the thermal paste?
I have read the fan is a little noisy at times, anyone thouht about replacing it with a silent mode fan? I found one that might work but costs about $45 just not sure the power connections are the same. After I get my rg I will check unless someone is willing to snap a pick for me.
Any other upgrades suggestions? Money really won't be a limiting factor and I am dead set on alienware and this machine since the size is great and offers a little more then the 11 which I had been set on. I have tried to research the cpus and find reviews but like I said before this 7" tablet doesn't lend well to indepth research.
Thanks in advance for any advice or suggestions and I can't wait to own my first alienware (as soon as the logging company pays up for making our greyhound bus eat the back end of the logs)

Post your game test requests here.

Could you test out Americas Army 2.8.5 I played this game hard core for years and look forward to playing it again on a machine that can game. I just wonder what to expect from it before I get my m14x.
link to download the 2.8.5 client instead of the 3.x client AMERICA'S ARMY: DOWNLOADS
I would only play at medium or high settings since FPS would be my main concern over a pretty picture.
