Ok, so I'm buying a new computer. I initially wanted to buy one of the new intel macs, but found that I could be literally getting twice the computer for the same price as one of the new intel iMacs. Thus I've decided on Alienware. My main question is which is better performance-wise:
Intel® Pentium® D Processor 930 withDual Core Technology or AMD Athlon™ 64 3200+ Processor -------------------- QUOTE (Spectatrix @ Oct 13 2006, 09:51 PM)  Holy shit, pebkac, you're awesome!

I'd go with a dual-core Athlon myself, but it's also been my experience that Alienware stuff is a little overpriced.
What system from them are you looking at getting and have you compared gaming machines from other manufacturers? -------------------- I r Ur Gawd!
