What the Hell Alienware?

First off, this is not a horror story, I got my new PC, it runs great, this is more an inconvenience than anything else.

Now then, Alienware gave me a PC with 4GB of RAM, which I ordered. On their website, when ordering a PC they do not allow you to pick the bit of your OS. Seeing as how I selected 4GB of RAM, I assumed I would get Vista 64 bit. Wrong.

Granted, its not THAT bad. Task manager is picking up all but 770MB or RAM being stored in cache, but still, I payed an extra $100 for 1278 MB of RAM. Well, I suppose I could be spending $180 for a 120GB hard drive.

Muh brand new gaming PC!

Thats right. I am finally going to start playing the version of TF 2 thats dosen't suck on my brand new Alienware!

Bu-But Myth, isen't alienware an evil gaming PC company bent on ripping me off and taking over the planet?

Yes, but our tech person insisted we get a pre-built one, and its not coming out of my pocket, so I don't care! Wohoo! Crysis, Orange Box, and Garry's mod here I come!
