Can't view it right now, at work, gamespot is blocked. I'd only truly be interested if they showed a dual ATI Radeon X800 XT as well.

Now the only problem would be finding a 6800. It shouldn't take more than a year before they hit the shelves :roll:

The demo was at E3. You can NOT currently buy a system like the one in the test. The system has dual PCI express video cards and a video controler card. On video card draws the top and the other draws the bottom. Alienware says proformance gains are as big as 50-100%. This is not a production system yet. If i remember right look for the system from allienware around the holidays.

It is allienware's hardware that controls the system. So the only way to get the dual monitor system will only be through allienware unless they are nice enough to sell the control card and software/drivers for it.

Its a nice system, but its really not worth spending $5000 on a new computer for... i think it makes more sense to spend 10% of that money and buy a single 6800 or x800

hmm, how sweet would it be if he wrote in his will that all his money was to be divided equally among everyone in the US. Over the age of 18. and under the age of 25. Yes, that would be sweet... if he dies in the next 5 years.
