A better question is: why would you want a seperate PC for running MS Word (since most people need it anyway)?

Brown acid?? That sounds even worse
Only acid I've seen is pretty clear and colourless. [/QUOTE]A Woodstock joke. If you weren't too young to get it, you'd be LYAO. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I would be very tempted to wait on buying a computer until the Athlon FX51 chips become more available.

Look around. There are many places to buy comperable if not faster computers than the Alienware pc's for much less money. The only reason to buy an Alienware pc is for the snazzy case (which looks absolutely amazing).

But hey, if you have the money, go for it. They certainly are nice pc's in general.

Well if you're like me, you buy an Alienware PC for yourself, then use the family computer for homework (MS Word)

I was thinking of applying for the alienware credit card...my parents did say i could have one. Plus its the only way to finance one of their computers, [img]graemlins/doh.gif[/img]

Seems like i can get a decent one for 1.7k....i wonder if my parents will go for it

My child would be SOOOO grounded for going out and purchasing a $1700 Alienware Area 51 Laptop on a credit card... But I on the other hand would SOOOO much enjoy it!

edit: I can't spell worth a s#$% sometimes!

Alienware looks awesome - and prices aren't too bad.

But since I live in Europe and would have to send the PC to the US if someting went wrong with it, I decided to buy locally in this summer. (and you get two years warranty as standard in DK)

Still - I wouldn't have minded having one of them here. [img]smile.gif[/img]

I maybe a bit off topic but doed anyone have an opinion on either dell or gateways gaming pcs?

RitingFool · 10-06-2003, 08:47 PM

Someone mentioned Athlon chips. I usually get Celeron processors to save money, but how are Athlon CPU's as compared to Celeron or P4's?

Any information on this is greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Michael
