awesome

Let's call it a tie

Congrats bro, I can honestly say that the wait is most definately worth it. I expected it to be something special, but it has surpassed my expectations in evey way thus far

** sidenote ** I loaded up some of my proggy's and Firefox when running bounces up and down a half-inch or so. I haven't been able to identify what may be doing that...cpu/gpu drivers are up to date and firefox is patched up. Hmmmm

hmm weird! Really don't know whats causing that. Oh yeah I got 10,137 3dmarks 05, even after loading a couple of games :P My report says that I got a '06 score of 5,714 but I haven't reached that yet. Maybe with some cleaning up.

AWESOME NOTEBOOK!!! coming from such poor graphics systems from the past it is hard to believe that everything is so smooth. Also, the first thing I did was check for any of the problems other users had:

I do NOT have a rattling subwoofer
I DID get the Turion driver (1.2.2.0)
DHL delivered exactly when they were supposed to
I had NO strange lockups and dead pixels (so far, lets pray this does not happen)
Basically it is perfect. So what is even better? I ordere 2x80GB @ 7,2K, and received 2x100GB!! That, without paying more. It even says so in the report, right next to my order that clearly says 2x80GB. Maybe cause of a slight wait?

Thank you Alienware! As long as my system holds up, I am very impressed and will buy from them again.

Congrats, nin...


I think the latest Turion Driver is 1.3.2. .... but I wouldn't mess with it since all is working so well.

Nice NIN!! My first '05 benchmark was around 9400, so something may need tweaking here. Hey question for ya -- when you turned on your computer the first time, was the volume turned up quite a bit? My subwoofer actually DID rattle until I turned it down. At higher volumed the subwoofer rattles consistantly. Can you test this and report back? Maybe throw in a CD and see how it performs. Also I got the 1.3.2.0 Turion Driver. What video drivers are loaded? Did you change them? NO dead pixels for me as well! I'm still getting that wierd bouncing of the Firefox/google screen for some reason. When I right click on a tab it stops. Only seems to flutter during idling. Very strange.
