[QUOTE="thomas91169, post: 7184652, member: 40530"] 6 years old and on borrowed time? hell my 5 year old Dell (P4 2.4ghz single core, 512mb ram, FX5200) was resurrected recently when my gaming rig decided to poop a BIOS chip. Loaded Vista Ultimate and ran Aero them no problem, like a brand new PC right off the shelf. Scored a 3.2! My gaming rig can only muster up a 5.4. Sure, if you had 10 things open it would start to fail, but for menial tasks (Office, Internets, downloading) it was just a tad bit slower than my rig (3.0ghz AM2 Dual Core, 4gb Geil Ram, 8800GTXoc, all SATA3.0, etc). computers are only as slow as the garbage you load on them. Take out the trash every once in a while (IE reformat!) what did you pay for said Alienware and what are the specs? My buddy just spent 4500$ on his and specs are pretty much on par with my rig, and i spent $1200 on it! I think hes burnt out two video cards as well, and hasnt even touched any clock settings, all ive burnt out is a bios chip, and all i had to do was find a replacement online and have my buddy flash it with the current bios revision. Cost me 20$ and a 12pack of BL Lime. [/QUOTE]
