The processor is quite bad for a gaming machine. A Core 2 Duo on a XPS system would eat that for breakfast and is about the same price.mulac2910

LMAO! verry true...must be emberassing for this guy lol...but we all make mistakes, so dont worry! your money

I don't want to make you feel bad about your purchase. If you like it, that's all that matters right? However next notebook you get I suggest you do a little bit of research. It'll either save you money, or you'll get more quality out of it.

I thought it was expensive, but wasn't really sure. I don't know that much about computers:DJonesy852

You sure as hell got that right...

ALIENWARE A CRIMINAL COMPANY I purchased an Alienware area 51-M 766 Laptop on 05/12/2004 and I paid three thousand dollars for it. It was advertised as a laptop with an upgradeable video card and it was considered to be the top of the line gaming notebook and had with some fantastic reviews winning numerous awards and gained a great deal of recognition from industry professionals and technology experts. The laptop should last many years and the main idea is the video card could be changed or upgraded. I thought I bought the best notebook on the market, but I was sadly mistaken. After a year and half, I called Alienware so I could purchase a new upgraded video card, and I was told that Alienware stop supporting my laptop and my video card. I was also told that I have to purchase a video card from a third party called "Uniwill" if I wanted an upgrade. So I called the third party company but no one picked up the phone and I left several messages and they never called me back. I was very surprised that I was unable to get an upgradeable video card. I was also very disappointed to find that so soon I was unable to get what was so strongly advertised and promised. If this isn't false advertising and false promises made to customers then I don't know what else is but afterwards I gave up calling and continue to use the notebook. I never thought I would have trouble with it but on November 23, 2007 the video card completely burned out. I contacted Alienware shortly afterwards to ask them if I could purchase any type of video card that would simply just work (forget about gaming or upgrading) so I could at least use the notebook. Unfortunately Alienware stop supporting and making any type of video card for my laptop, and I was told to call "Uniwill" once again to purchase a video card and once again I called, left messages and I never received a return call. I wonder if Uniwill is a prefabricated company created and owned by Alienware to prevent lawsuits. I also researched the Internet; eBay and tried to see if someone out there had anything I could possibly use, but all I found was a very long line of Blogs, many hate websites with a massive amount of posted threads of complaints of many unsatisfied and unhappy Alienware customers who where ripped off and lied to by a company filled with false advertisements, promises, and deceit. I purchased a three thousand dollar Alienware paperweight, and now I've joined a long line of unsatisfied customers. thomaslianj

thats a pretty incredible story if its true. i think you should investigate that company Uniwill and see if it actually does exist because that is some straight BS that Alienware pulled on you. After reading that, I will think twice next time Im looking to buy a prebuilt PC.
