need a new machine

After talking to Stitch

Mistake #1 I'm surprised you aren't asking about some kiddie console!

I'd imagine that my old machine could never handle BF2, it barely handles WoW. I do have an advantage though with my slow machine, because I see Horde players spinning around looking for me

I'm in need to upgrade as well. My P4 3.0 and ATI AIW X800XT are barely hanging on for both BF2 and my Sim Racing purposes. Although I am able to play both at 1650 Resolution on my DELL 20in widescreen LCD which surprises me. I do have to turn down 'some' eye candy in BF2.

Anyway, I am seriously considering this

That's a serious notebook. I think it's pretty sweet... but the one downside is upgrading and the severe limitations there of with notebooks. With gaming, no matter how far ahead you think you are buying, you will be 'behind' at one point or another. I didn't read all through everything, but does Alienware have the upgradeable video card option?

Not to mention that has to be one hot son of a gun.....

So any alternatives would be appreciated....[/QUOTE]

Are you "sold" on a notebook? If not, you might be able to build a killer tower system and still be able to get that bike in '08.
