Alienware Aurora ALX - Athlon 64 FX 60 2.6 GHz

Page 2

For Alienware's part, we certainly expect it to keep up with the latest and greatest gaming hardware. Between the time it sent us this system and the time of this posting, Alienware had already added AMD's new Athlon 64 FX-62 CPU and the Nforce 590 Deluxe SLI chipset motherboard to the Aurora ALX configurator, as well as Ageia's PhysX accelerator card. We have a feeling you can expect to see Nvidia's next-gen GeForce 7950 GX2 card (the existence of which has already been leaked on several blogs) in there as well. The current-gen cards in Quad SLI are the GeForce 7900 GX2s, and it doesn't take a genius to figure that the GeForce 7950 GX2 might also be Quad-ward bound.
