I called AW yesterday because I noticed new 5500's are shipping with the Nvidia 256 mb 7600 go video card. I bought my 5500 last December thinking I would just buy the upgrade part when it came out...they told me this would be a snap...

I game wirelessly all the time and its flawless. I play WoW and BF2...its really great. I have a netgear RangeMax 240 router and it is excellent.

So far the performance on mine is outstanding and I love it...my only complaints are: 1. My DVD rom sticks and is a pain in the butt to open at times. 2. One of my alien eyes is burned out on the back of the lid so my alien is...

I got 2700 on 3dmark 05 I have the 256 6600 go and 2 gig ram with the 2.26 ghz processor.

I got the 2 year on mine. Alienware said that at the end of my 2 year warranty I will have the option to purchase the final year if I want to.

I will try to get it weighed, although I have no means to do that at home here.

I would go with 80 at 7200 but thats just me. I havent done speed comparison tests with hard drives. I sure like my 100gb 7200 though, its quiet and very fast.

The weight numbers are from the official spec sheet. It does feel light in reality too. Sturdy but light.

I attached some pictures, glad you like the review Shazza.
