Processor:
The Area 51 7500 comes equipped with an Intel® Core™ 2 Duo E8400 3.00GHz. This processor is a very fast and powerful addition to the Area 51 7500 and allows you to play even the most taxing games.
Memory:
The Area 51 7500 comes standard with four 1 GB memory sticks for a total of 4 GB of RAM. 4 GB of memory is enough to keep up with the most advanced games available now, as well as keeping up with the requirements of future games. Another side effect of having this much memory is how well Windows Vista runs both while playing games, and performing other activities like word processing or web surfing.
Video/Audio:
The dual 512MB NVIDIA GeForce 8800GT's will keep up with the most intense, fast–paced 3D first–person shooters or MMORPGs with zero graphics lag. This is one of the best graphics configurations offered in a gaming computer in this price range.
The Area 51 7500 comes standard with high–definition 7.1 surround sound. Your games will sound as good as they look.
I/O Device:
This system comes standard with a 3 button optical mouse with a scroll wheel and a premium USB keyboard from Logitech. There is an option to add speakers through the configuration utility, though they don't come standard.
One of the outstanding features of Alienware is their original PC case designs. The Area 51 7500 comes in a very attractive full–tower chassis that comes in a beautiful array of colors for no additional charge.
Value/Price:
This is an exceptional computer for the price. If you have the money to spend, Alienware has the upgrades available to build the ultimate gaming PC. Alienware also offers free shipping. This is a nice money saving bonus.
Support/Warranty:
Alienware’s online live chat is first–class. We didn’t have to wait more than a minute and the representative was helpful and courteous. You can also contact customer support through phone and email.
The system comes with a 1–year parts and labor warranty and it can be upgraded if you choose.
Summary:
The Alienware Area 51 7500 is light years ahead of the competition. It offers some of the most advanced components available to squeeze every last ounce of performance out of the hardware that is included.
