Now don’t let this persuade you that it’s all look and no power, Alienware delivers on every end when it comes to making high end powerful computers. The Aurora ALX is the top of the line Alienware and what it offers proves that this company knows how to make a gaming system.

Standout Features:

• Intel Core i7 920 2.66GHz Processor

• 6GB DDR3 hard drive
• Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit

Video/Audio:

While the Alineware Aurora ALX may not have the top of the line video card, it does have two of them to make up for the difference. Dual Video cards split the information processed so that one isn’t handling the entire load. In fact, dual cards can give it even more FPS (frames per second) and better performance than many single high end video cards. If you are the kind of person that wants a nice HD surround sound system for your computer than the Aurora ALX is perfect for you.

Processor:

The processor in a computer is like the heart in a human body, when its working good so is your computer. The Aurora ALX is sporting the new and improved Intel Core i7 920 processor that runs at a swift 2.66GHz for ultimate gaming. However, as in all things when it comes to a computer there is always a bigger and better processor if you want to be on the top of the computer gaming world.

Memory/Storage:

Another one of the main things you will be looking for in a high end gaming computer is the RAM (memory). Without enough RAM your computer simply won’t be able to handle what it is meant to do. The Alienware Aurora ALX has 6GB of DDR3 RAM; which is plenty for any game or program you desire to throw at this gaming machine. Add a 1TB hard drive and the possibilities for expansion and hard core gaming are endless.

Additional Features:

The final thing you will need when you go looking for a gaming computer is the type of OS (operating system) it is running. Like the majority of company’s out there Alienware has Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit install on every system for stability and ease of use. You will also find a blazing fast 24x DVD+/-RW optical drive, 8 USB ports for addition expansion and gaming extras (Joystick, gaming controller). The MicroATX LGA 1366 Intel X58 motherboard is powered by an 850 Watt Power Supply which is perfect for future upgrades if desired. Now if you want to not only have an amazingly powerful system but also one that looks sweet you can add additional lighting for an E.T. look.

Support/Warranty:

Computers however convenient and useful can cause a lot of headache if something is not work correctly or you get a virus on your computer. Dell’s site offers just about every type of help for troubleshooting problems or for help when it comes to purchasing a computer. You can also download drivers for your video card and other hardware directly from their site. Within the first year of having the computer if you run into any problems simply send in your computer and they will get things working again.
