Alienware Aurora with 7900 GTX

The specification is obviously high end, but one thing strikes us – is it really high-end enough to justify the price tag? We’ve been staunch defenders of Alienware’s right to charge through the nose for quality in the past, but we can’t help but feel that in this case, those forking out the large amount of cash required will be a little disappointed. Most of the major boxes are checked – the FX-60 and the 7900 SLI are clearly big winners. However, the 2GB of RAM is on four 512MB sticks, which reduces the speed – this is a rookie system building mistake, and is an unnecessary bottleneck in what should be an explosive system.

As always, this Alienware is a very solid system. But for the $4,000 pricetag, is should be offering a lot more to the consumer. Check out the full review at Bit-Tech.
