You are not kidding that is expensive and not a core duo or a dual core? For that amount of money it should be a quad core! Hope you are getting a cool pad to sit that thing on or you are going to burn your legs! Two vidoe cards will push out alot of hot air out of that thing! It should also come with DDR2 memory!

I don't think the current Turions support DDR2. There isn't really a performance benefit to DDR2 anyways so it's no big deal.

Everyone knows how overpriced Alienware is....Draven should know that....he's buying quality (brand name) and performcance (dual SLI)....

The laptop seems fine....but yea the price of course is marked pretty high....

All up to u Draven.

I know, I didn't care about spelling.  I didn't care about the price.  I wanted an Alienware laptop but the next computer I will buy, I will be building it myself.
