Alienware did get bought by Dell. I have a dell with core 2 duo 2ghz, x1800 ati video card, 2 gig memory. Ive had 3 games going at once multiplayer online, and another one that was just single player, winamp on playing music, messenger open with im's, internet pages open and it never once lagged. Whoever said alienware is more expensive than dell is lying. My buddy bought a xps laptop a month before I got mine and spent like 3300 total. I only spent 2000 and my laptop outperforms his. Both our systems are identical minus his video card being nvidia and mine ati.
A side note mike, Dont go through alienware to upgrade your hard drive or memory. You can find them a lot cheaper on newegg and end up saving yourself literally hundreds of dollars depending on what you want. For example, I spend 180 bucks on newegg and got 2 gig of gaming memory for my laptop and through alienware it was over 300 to get 2 gig from them. Same for harddrive. To get like a 120 gig from alienware costs like 200 and newegg you can get the same thing for 90 bucks. I could always install the stuff for you if you needed somebody to do it. So just leave the memory and hd to what they give you.
