Dude, although it may seem that there's a lot of people bashing Alienware, keep in mind that forums are places where people with problems go. There are plenty of satisfied Alienware customers whose stories you never hear about. I for one...

Hey dude. Mine has the GeForce Go 6600 in 256mb and it performs great for now. I'm probably going to be gaming more over the summer so I might consider upgrading to the 7600 when that becomes available. The X1600 is like $350 more than...

Got mine last week. Mine scored 3Mark03: 6248, and 3DMark05: 2783. This machine is pretty incredible.. CS Source is sooo much more fun in 1680x1050! Also played some Quake 4... Can't believe how pretty the graphics are!!!...

Here are some more pics. I took a bunch of the case and one screenshot of my desktop (AlienGUIse... love it!) ...
