Im thinking of buying an Alienware Gaming PC with a 3.6 or 3.8 GHZ Pentium Processor.
It will also have 1G of RAM a 120GB HD and a ATI 8000 graphics card with Alienware video game performance enhancing software.
Will this system run FS2004 at max settings with life-like frame rates??
Anybody know?
[PS: Im only interested in Alienware PC's and same-spec-for-less PC's wont be taken into account.]

Well, from what I have heard Alienware's Kick @$$. so you can't go too far wrong. My spec (In siggy) runs it no trouble, so yes, that spec should do it easily, and DOOM3 should work too. ;D

ATI 8000 graphics card
If thats what I think it is it won't be great

Unless you mean an X800

I don't get this Alienware stuff. If anyone knew anything about PCs theyd build there own...... Much more fun & you get exactly what you want/need!

You'll probably save a quite a few bucks if you build your own PC with the same specs as the ailienware PC.

What an UGLY case
So gaudy!
My case however is simple and blends into my room. IMO PCs should not be seen or heard, quiet and invisible is the way to go

Hey Andrew,
That is a seriously awesome case, although it looks much better in blue

Think I might start putting my own system together soon

I hate alienwares. Seriously, want the best performence for LESS money? Build you own computer.
-You choose the best components YOU want.
-No BS (juck software like AOl trails and the like)
-VERY good learning experience
-the satisfaction of being able to build a computer.
-Much cheaper, at least 500 dollars in savings for same/better compoents (newegg sometimes has great deals)
If you want a high-end computer, then build it.

Ya Alienware's computers are quite a rip-off,
U could build your own for less than half as much..
And even 'Tiny' Computers have done a 799 pound +3800 64 bit.. so there not hard to find.

I would think the Alienware would be a better investment then anything from Tiny :o

Yeah, but from what I've heard, Tiny is a company you don;t really want to go near, Pcworld too.

As good as Alienware PC's seem to be, they really are awfully priced :-/

Is this what you meant?
That's the one, I can't believe the price considering the way it looks

Think I might start putting my own system together soon

If u do, goodluck!
Thanks, I'm not sure what I'm doing yet, although getting some money is always a good start

Cheers,
Carl
