    yea about as leet as the guy who comes to the shooting range with cammo and fingerless gloves trying to be all operator...*giggle*, anyone who knows his stuff will laugh at a man using Alienware without any other knowledge

    and SLI is as much a joke as quadcore cpus...they don't scale well for the price...and there's a point where it's not even useful but just stupid...but hey computers are like all other products now; infested with viral marketing and too little fact

    You're completely right about the SLI

    I'll take only one graphic card :) but I work with programs of audio/video encoding, optimized for 64 bits and multi-cores, so I recently bought a Q6600... I think that is a great CPU but only if used with optimized programs.

    And lol @marketing... I saw a computer with 4gb RAM, E8200 and... x300 as a graphic card... And the seller told me that the graphic performance were excellent and marvellous... Maybe on PacMan lol

    ati drivers blow chunks

    spoken as a 1950xtx user

    I don't think I'll buy another ati card and early adoption is a bad idea

    go with the 8800 family atm for the best performance vs price

    Yes, i know they sucks

    But as they created a great card (they 4850) maybe they will release new drivers :D and lol, the new series of GX 2x0 is way too expensive... Here, in Europe, the average price is 500€ O_O

    been reading some reviews and I agree the new ati's are a much better deal then nvidia's option but I doubt the new drivers will be any better, expect hours of getting it to work 'right'

    Don't buy Alienware!!!

    I recently upgraded my computer lol...
    Alienware seems like a good deal but they give sub-par parts

    Bought a AMD Athlon 6400+ Black
    and (2) EVGA 8800 640 GDDR3 from craiglist for only $250

    i think aliens are good computers, but they aren't worth the price. just make your own computer
