right now it is on phase 3.


had a HP ZD8000, not a bad laptop, 256Mb ATI x600. but the video card died so i looked around found the Alienware m9750 was a good price for the bare system.

i Plan on upgrading to the 2nd video card as well as 2-3Gb of ram. also will duel boot XP and Vista.

thank you.

at the time i had very small amount of fund due to my college starting back up. so a few things had to have cut backs . but from talking with the reps from alienware, looks like most things are upgradeable, but just to make sure I'm going to put the higher CPU as the first upgrade.

I'm going to let Alienware do the CPU install. my friend owns a Dell laptop and his HDD had died on him. so he call Dell and get this the tech said it was the HDD, now she wanted my friend to do the install but it was going to void his warranty.

but something like the CPU i would rather pay Alienware to install that.

-update-

phase 5: 10-23-2007

This Would be my first one in a long line of laptops, but if everything goes great with it, my next laptop will be from alienware as well.


btw: Phase 8 @ 10-24-2007

LMAO

Damn, your right on the money. it was shipped on the 25th.

thankfully i live about 30min away from alienware.

update & ES4: Oblivion test.

Sorry I have not post in a few days, been working and imaging the new laptop.

Tested ES4: Oblivion. First I installed it w/ Vista to see how it will run, ran ok, but was problem with user made mods. (Vista I think I was getting about 20+ FPS in doors. default setting oblivion does not know the GPU).

Now, since Vista is still a bit Buggy I have switch to XP Pro, but will go back to vista once SP1 comes out and I get my 2nd HDD. (Duel boot, w/ XP as main OS). I have tested ES4: Oblivion in XP runs really good. Maxed the Rez to 1440 x 900, and I have messed with a few setting, but mostly about 30FPS+ (w/ one or two spikes here and there, but my setting are not done yet)


But all in all, this Laptop is kick A@#, the 1.66MgZ processor feels like it is way faster than my HPZD8000 P4 HT (which was a desktop processor in a notebook), must be the duel core.
