Mozilla Firefox 7.0 version has been released just in 6 weeks of time from the 6.0 was released. The new look is amazing, same as chrome. Comparing it with chrome I found chrome to be a bit more smoother, but the 7.0 has amazing features like low memory usage an other gaming features. Here is a snapshot of the look of the new browser update. To read the release notes just see the following link Notes.

Intel Sandy Bridge-E i7-3930K

The i7-3930K is a processor you should wait for. It has a nice unlocked multiplier which you can take this processor to a whole new level. By the consideration that you will need an LGA 2011 Motherboard for it, it truly is a cpu to wait for.
It is a nice 6 core/12 thread processor. at a price for 583$ which is very good for enthusiasts and multitasking.

Alienware M14x Gaming Laptop Customization help in Dell.com

This is a post which helps you select the best parts if you are looking to customize a M14x Alienware gaming laptop on dell.com.
http://www.dell.com/us/p/alienware-m14x/fs
The above is the link where you can do it.
Select the base model the starting model as the one shown on the right side.
Then here is the time when the actual customization starts. I will select the best parts with the best price which will be able to handle gaming at any resolution. Here if you have a nice medium budget.

1. CPU: Select i7-2630QM this is one of the best CPUs in the market. It can handle any games. Don't worry about the compatibility alert which pops up in the dell site, I will tell you what to do about it.
Do not select the i5 2410M processor as at will not take the load for gaming in the future. If you have a bigger budget then you can opt for the 2760QM or 2860QM but it is not recommended.
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium, its just for gaming so we will not need the Ultimate O.S features.
WIRELESS CARD: I will tell you go for the Dell recommended option for this, if you are playing on LAN and Internet.




MEMORY: Select the 4 GB memory at 1600MHz as gaming won't require those 8 GBs, you can upgrade it later anytime.
Here comes the important part.
GPU: Choose the default one, the 1.5 GB Nvidia GPU, the 3GBs is not at all required, if you will be using multiple monitors then it is okay to take 3GBs, we will choose the 1.5 GB for this one.
HDD: 750 GB at 7200RPM
LCD Resolution: This is another main part of selection, choose the 1600x 900 px resolution, sadly the screen is not big enough to hold the 1920x1080 pixels so the max is 900p.
That is it, the rest accessories can be selected by your own choice.
