Alienware was one of the first to offer SLI-powered systems and Intel dual-core-powered systems, and now it has brought those two extraordinary technologies together. The Area-51 7500 allows you to experience markedly increased levels of both processor and graphics performance in one system, meaning games and multimedia applications fly like a bat out of hell. It's a powerful, fully-featured computer that's great for gaming and multimedia duties, and though it is pricey, you get Alienware's thoughtful design and attractive styling for the expense. But if you're a gaming nut, you may want to hold on until the New Year because Alienware has announced that it plans to equip its most powerful desktops with nVidia's new DirectX 10-based GeForce 8800 GTX (in single or dual-GPU mode), as well as Intel's quad-core Core 2 Extreme processor.

While PC architecture is moving inexorably to multi-core architectures, one has to question the value of quad-core on the desktop right now, especially in a gaming system. As we said in e-2-Extreme-QX6700-Kentsfield-Quad-Core-/p2 our Core 2 Extreme QX6700 review at the start of November, applications are only just starting to be optimized for dual-core, let alone quad. The fact is that for the gamer, right now a dual-core X6800 Extreme is the fastest CPU you can get due to its higher clock speed (2.93GHz vs 2.66GHz).

Alienware's Area-51 7500 packs a serious punch, but is light on your wallet, that is unless you want to load it up with plenty of options.
