It's a shame they are using out-dated technology...

I now have renewed faith in Alienware.
It went away for awhile when I realized that I could easily build a better machine for cheaper, but..
<- only needs $3,200 more to buy one

http://alienware.com/ALX_pages/main_alx.aspx heres your chance. My friend ordered one and got it on tuesday. He gets over 300 fps with when I get at max 70 fps when my system is amd 2800+, Radeon 9800 and 762 pc2700 ram. He could also play 2 games at once without noticing. Pretty insane I say.
