This Alienware machine utilises the latest chip from AMD, and comes configured with two 7800 GTX cards in SLI, each with 512MB of memory. 1GB of graphics RAM, 2GB of system RAM, 1TB of storage and two processor cores - do the numbers add up to the price tag? We find out.

"The machine is decked out with some pretty nice kit. 1TB of storage is a pretty nice number to have, and the FX60 is undeniably the best chip for a machine of this type. We're very happy to see a X-Fi card in here, since that really is a must-have for high-end gamers, especially with its awesome surround sound effects. If there was one area we'd pull this machine up on, it's the RAM. We'd expect, at the minimum, two 1GB sticks to be fitted to allow for upgradability, and we'd ideally want 4GB as standard in here for the price. We found that we couldn't overclock the system using the CPU multiplier, which is unfortunate, since the FX-60 is multiplier unlocked. We'd like a BIOS update pretty quick to allow this to happen, because we suspect there's some headroom in this system."
