Hey Chris, Something I think you addressed before.... This is the graphics card I ordered: Graphics Processor: NVIDIA® GeForce™ 6800 GT PCI Express 256MB DDR3 w/Digital and S-Video Out I have an ATI TV-WONDER PCI card I am going to install. Will there be compatability issues...

Chris, I appreciate your support throughout these few weeks. Your knowledge and input certainly was a major factor in my final buying decision. I thank you for that. Now that I have bought my first Alienware I am a little worried.... With as much research that I did before my...

Bought the system today. Here it is.... [1] Area-51® 5500 Warranty: 3-Year AlienCare Toll-Free 24/7 Phone Support with Onsite Service Bundle with AlienAutopsy and Respawn Operating System: Microsoft® Windows® XP Professional with Service Pack 2 Chassis: Alienware® Full-Tower Case -...

Max, Yeah, gonna forget about AMD. I priced the new ALIENWARE system with the dual-cofre Intel 840 chip and it's not much (if any) more expensive than the former highest class Pentium system. Probably going to order it later today.

Going to wait till next week to see who has the better dual core benchmarks: AMD or INTEL. ALIENWAREZ is indeed offering dual core today. Hopefully Alienware will be offering AMD computers by the end of the week.

Seth, Drool! Looks like I'll be buying my Alienware this week. Thanks so much for keeping on top of this and notifying me.

Guys, Do me a favor. I'm not really up on specs and availability. If you guys hear about any performance issues (good or bad) with the new Intel dual-core processors - including availability - please keep me posted. I'll be amongst the first to buy these new systems but I want...

Glenise, Would love to build my own...but... 1. I don't know how 2. I don't have the time. Though there is a savings to be had to building one's own system, there is a bit of built-in comfort when you deal with a reputable company (Dell, Alienware) who will back up their build...

Daniel, That's a kick-ass system. Anything from a legit company that even looks remotely as cool as that?

My head is spinning here. I feel really disappointed, but at the same time I am very grateful for what I have learned here. I dove into this Dell deal with advice from others that the Xeon dual processor was the BEST way to go and now I learn that I'll probably never utilize that...

Chris, Sure.... 1. Microsoft Office 2. Front Page 3. Email 4. Photoshop 5. Nero Burning Rom 6. Firefox 7. Adobe Photo Elements 8. Mailwasher (Most I can think of offhand) I realize that only Photoshop stands out here as being the highest memory hogging program, but my...

I suppose I am looking for a bottom line here.... Is the dual Xeon 3.2 processor system as configured here going to be even slightly more advantageous for me than a standard P4 3.6 system? The order is in -- I might be able to cancel, but if there's reason enough to keep this...

Thomas, Bootup time is fine. The overall problem I see is system sluggishness when I run all these programs in startup and then run high-intensity programs such as Photoshop or otherwise. I *want* to run these programs at all time, hence the reason for going with a 2GB system...

Guys, Thanks for all your help here. I purchased a Dell Workstation last evening. Will be here in 3 weeks as the 24" Monitor is on backorder. The specs are pretty much the same as above IN BLUE except instead of the 300GB SCSI I put together two 146 GB Ultra SCSI in a Raid O...

Thomas, Stay with me here..... What is up with the Intel Xeon chips? I know so very little about them. How superior are they to the P4 chips? The above configuration looks great but I would go with 2GB ram just because of the amount of programs I run at once. Also, wouldn't a...

Christian, I probably did originally say that, Christian. I have the opportunity to purchase it now -- that is why I am looking at systems. My current Dell is indeed no slouch, but this my normal 2-year upgrade that becomes part of a business write-off.

Glenise, I can't take the chance. I havde too much PC software here that will not run on the Mac.

Rich, I am sure this is overkill for what I want -- but I want processing speed, plain and simple, because I run a lot of high-memory programs and load my computer with startup apps. I'm not sure I want to go Mac. I am not convinced it would be the better choice mostly because I...

About to buy my first ALIENWARE system. Here are my specs. Big question to follow.... ("?" replaces REGISTERED TRADEMARK LOGOS) [1] Area-51 5550 Warranty: 3-Year AlienCare Toll-Free 24/7 Phone Support with Onsite Service Bundle with AlienAutopsy and Respawn Operating System...
