> Currently the high end Dell model can easily outperform an Alienware, my laptop when compared with my friends alienware owned it every possible way. I have a Dell Inspiron E1705 with Intel Core Duo 2.16 GHz, 2 GB DDR2-RAM at 667 MHz, 160 GB Perpendicular HD 10,000 RPM, nVidia 7900 go dual GPU card. This computer kicked a AMD with some processor, clocked at 2 cores at 3 GHz, 120 GB HD, 1 GB RAM, nVidia 7800 go, single GPU, but the difference is I paid $2000, and my friend paid $4,459. Yet in a game of Halo my PC didn’t lag and had a 50 fps, compared to his 33.4 fps. Quake 4 running at 34 fps, compared to his 12 fps, Time to boot: mine 15 seconds, his 35 seconds. Dell offers outstanding computers at great prices, AMD’s suck, even though they are gaining, they are only good if you have a server. So yeah, Alienware is in reality just a big RIP OFF!!!

Where did you get a HDD that runs at 10K RPM?? I cannot find one in South Australia for the life of me. (And i aint going to buy from overseas)

Lag is cuased by like a billion little things that add up… Like, Connection speed. Dial-up will kill you in a Online game, while cable will help you a lot. CPU speed, will help you. Video card, plays a lot too, etc… Hope that helps

Different kinds of lag, network lag and graphics lag… its hard to tell which sometimes 😛
