An Area-51 7500 comes standard with an NVIDIA® GeForce® 7950 GT GPU, a good all-around entry level GPU

... a 7950 as an entry level gpu? Tells you what kind of people buy Alienware...

If you're serious about playing modern games, I guess it would be an entry-level GPU. Remember, Alienware probably builds 8800GTX SLI systems on a regular basis.

It tells you how ridiculous PC gaming has become with all the upgrading needed to stay up to snuff. Which is why I now own a 360. The GPU peddlers can soak others in the future....I'm done with them.

for an alienware it would be:

7950 = entry level
8800GTS/GTX = mid level
8800GTS/GTX in SLi = top notch

yes sure....but please notice...there are MANY people who know *nothing* about building a PC...or wouldnt even be able to exchange a card for another.....and those are the ones who think alienware is the best of the best etc..etc
Think of it as "high end computers" for people who cant/dont want to build computers

Did you guys know that Alienware has somehow managed to make a NOTEBOOK with SLI. I had to stare at it for a minute to make sure I was reading it right.

sager makes notebooks with sli


look them up


much cheaper

 

[enz660hp]

7950gt is only 200 on the egg? Thats pretty cheap! Im sure wherever alienware gets them they are even cheaper. I would think that whoever wants an alienware, wants to do some gaming. a 7950 is a good place to start and will give you decent performace in most games.

I think he was thinking about an ODM providing the hardware for companies such Alienware to finalize and brand. You can often find hardware that is just about identical to what a company such as Alienware offers because they use the same stuff from the same ODM, only its usually MUCH cheaper due to branding and extras (often gimmicky) that Alienware includes.

What load of crap... 8800GTX SLI will last 4 years..riiight.
