{MOVED}Alienware M18 R2 various issues

Hi Guys

I have a few issues with this rig and a couple of questions.

1. Macro key software is VERY flaky and hardly ever works.  Always crashes with an error.  Is there a new driver coming for this?

2. Sound Blaster does not seem to load with my profile but always goes to default

3. My biggest issues is that I made the mistake of ordering AMD twin 7970s in this rig without realising that there is zero driver support and hardly any games support them or Xfire in general.  Can I take them out and put in Nvidia SLi cards?  If so where can I buy the Nvidia cards and cable from please?

Mark.
