Penth4 3.73mhz precessor

IV been following the "many" generation of the XPS since gen 3 and I wonder when the Pentium 4 3.73 Dual Core HT will be available. Also the XP 64Bits is not yet an option. Is there a reason? r they waiting for the new Windows Vista?

 

I know some other like Alienware it is available, but from what I’ve read about them, there support is not that great.

Alienware has a better rating then Dell. He meant since Gen 3. Not just Gen 3. I think they offer XP x64 on the XPS600.

I have an Dimension XPS Generation 3 and it will not support Dual Core Processors. It will support the Intel 64 BIT Technology processors.

Well I’ve done some research on the Web and AlienWare seems to have a good product and I love the look. Also the concept of "liquid cooling" is very attractive but when it comes to support ... the problem begins

 

I took it from this article >>> http://reviews-zdnet.com.com/Alienware_Area_51_ALX/4852-3118_16-31006749.html?tag=uolst

 

Personally I have a Dimension 8400 and my video card (9800 pro ATI) went dead and just a phone call and they sent me back a new one. So I’d say Dell has a pretty good service.

OoO .. was that a soft spot i just hit ? :smileytongue::smileyvery-happy:

 

I have a P4 3Ghz and no problem , but all the review seems to point to AMD as best for gaming.

Alienware's are nice, but way overpriced. Dell's are mainstream consumer PCs and their bottom line is cost efficiency. They are not out to have the highest end, most hardcore system. ibuypower.com is currently one of the best priced computer manufacturers that uses third party, name brand components. Companies like Alienware, voodoo, and Falcon make nice stuff, but you pay such a high premium for what you get it hardly seems worth it.
