Thanks for the reply, I ran 3DMark 05 and I got 9763 marks, this is compared to 9875 when it was fresh out of the box, I would have thought a small decrease is normal considering all the games I have installed. Alienware have never...

I've had my M9700 for a couple of months now and I've had loads of problems with it so far, I've spent ages on the phone to Alienware who's basic response is always to format the system. My main issue is with SLi, I've never had SLi...

It arrived today, just a few minutes after I got off the phone with a customer services person who was first convinced it hadnt entered production, and then absolutly certain it hadnt left Ireland. If only it had turned up while I was...

I have been told that all the m9700s shipped out of Ireland come with a free mousepad, even though it doesnt say it on the website... but then again I was told that by a sales rep, can they be trusted? I found a novel way of dealing...

I'm now on Phase 10 apparently! I phoned them up on Tuesday because it was taking so long to move from pre-production, I got told it would be 'definatly maybe going into production soon'. I honestly nearly cancelled my order at that...

Its finally hit Phase 3, I cant see them meeting their delivery estimate of 6th November though, getting it this month is about all I can hope for it would seem. On the plus side it probably wont arrive until after the last of my essay...

After best part of a month spent trying to order this system (problems with finance companies, bank accounts, my lack of employment etc) I finally managed to get it to Phase 1 and I'm now waiting for the confirmation call from Alienware....
