There is not so much upgrades in these good old models that would put you in the league with the latest gaming machines supporting newest games

Not even with 4 gigs of ram and a core 2 duo? Can you name some other "cheap" alienware models, that might be worth looking at? Are there any other worthwhile alienware desktops other than the aurora and the x51? Cheers smile.gif

m14x can be a good choice, 850 not gonna cut it unless you can be patient for a month or 2 or lucky to get a (used) deal somewhere

Specifications look good - but you are not gonna the mid-range model for 850. And a good monitor (dell 24" per example) would push the price way over 1K

Okay. I am considering the m14x heavily now. I have a monitor lying around I can use, until I get a good one. Decisions decisions
