Question about how WCIII performs. That is the only computer game I own, along with Starcraft, I love both games, how does it perform? Let me know how it looks. Thanks.

Your review was well written as well, screw la crosse.

WC3 looks awesome with everything set to the highest. Very crisp details and buttery smoothness.

Starcraft is another story. It performs perfectly, but the graphics are a little fuzzy. I have tried different resolutions but to no avail. I do not know whats wrong. Maybe it has to do with the widescreen of the 15.4"?

Actually SC isn't really blurry it just isnt as nice as WC. This is not because of the computer is is because of the game's graphics. And one other note, if you edit your color profiles in PowerStrip, you must Alt-Tab WC so that the color profiles take effect in WC.

What is a powerstrip? My computer knowledge is....... greatly lacking =).

Powerstrip (aka AlienAdrenaline) is software used to control video/display settings. It also allows overclocking of the video card while under warranty. I highly recommend buying it, it's cheap insurance and helps get a little more performance outta your system.

Careful now. Alien Adrenaline bought from Alienware will allow overclocking under warranty. Simply using Powerstrip will not.
