So, the alienware?

Are the specs good enough for vista?

so which should I get? if the vista wont run smooth on the alienware should I just get the XPS?

Psy · Posted: Sun Apr 20, 2008 2:46 pm Post subject:

It is pushing it a bit like Noz said..
Neither one of them has any future-proofing even if vista is not the OS pre-installed. Look around a bit more if I was you Wink

The specs on the Alienware only list the possible options. Which setup (options) are you going to use?

The Alienware specs (even at lowest) beats the Dell, but that's only because the Dell has an integrated graphics processor.

Dell own alienware now anyway, don't they?

Heartless · Posted: Sun Apr 20, 2008 4:32 pm Post subject:

Dell is... old news. My sister got one for $400 and it only has 1GB of RAM, 1.6GHz operating speed and comes with all this software that you'll never need.

I say alienware because it is still well known as a great gaming computer, and it looks so much cooler.

i wouldve chosen the alianware cause its awesome but i chose to dell simply because it has XP

Madman · Posted: Sun Apr 20, 2008 7:27 pm Post subject:

All of you people choosing sides mainly due to which company (FYI Alienware is owned by Dell now) are misinformed.

Ever since Alienware was bought out by Dell, They have been pretty shitty.
Before they were bought out, they were just expensive peices of crap, but now they are expensive peices of dog shit.

tmock got one and it shocks him, literally. Laughing

I'd go with the XPS because it looks cooler than stupid Alienware cases, etc, but in the long run, it is always best to build it yourself.

i do like the graphics cards and other things about the alienware, but after reading several articles, as of now, i believe that the Intel dual cores out-perform the amd dual cores. also another site to check out is ibuypower, which is very nice.
