heheh, i didn't know people still ran 3dmark2001 now that 03 and 05 have both come out.... but anywho If it's less than 4 or 5 months old i'd say the chances of you getting a northwood are kinda slim. It seems like sometime around...

but they'll also be able to upgrade as soon as the next PCI-e card comes out... I really like the Sager for a few reasons, mainly the socket 775 processors that use DDR2 system memory, dual hard drives, and 17" screen though. It...

to get in the 8000+ point range yes.... you have to turn the direct 3D and OpenGL settings to maximum performance and overclock the gpu/memory. It will look like ass but people do it just out of curiousity

the alienware folks on this forum will never go for it unless they can take out their nail polish and paint it as "pretty" as their old 51m's. If it's not small and beautiful it's obviously far too ugly for them to be seen in...
