Alienware M17: Extreme Gaming Saviour Returns
By Dean • Nov 25th, 2008 • Category: LaptopsWhen it comes to hi-fi gaming laptops, Alienware is no stranger to users. The company is into offering sophisticated machines to computing enthusiasts for a long time and now the M17 is out to amaze hardcore gamers.
The Alienware laptop possesses a never before seen hardware configuration, which lets its users easily use multiple applications at once. This machine has enough power to take care of any task with aplomb. With the Alienware M17 laptop you will experience extreme processer speed and speedy fast data management. The best part of this system is that it takes you ahead of the NVIDIA graphics chips that support DirectX 9.0 used in most computers like the Sony Vaio VGN-NS10J/S. Instead, the Alienware M17 uses ATI CrossFireX technology that fully supports DirectX 10.1, giving you an unadulterated view and a massive resolution of 1200p, i.e. far more than the resolution offered by the latest full HDTVs.
You can configure the M17 with the following specifications:
• Processor: Intel Core2 Duo and Extreme Processors (6MB Cache, 1066MHz FSB) or Intel Core2 Quad and Extreme Processors (12MB Cache, 1066MHz FSB)
• Memory: Up to 4GB Dual Channel DDR3 at 1066MHz on two slots for dual channel configuration.
• OS: Windows Vista Home Premium (32- and 64-bit) or Windows Vista Ultimate (32- and 64-bit)
• Graphics: Single ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3870 or Dual ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3870 (CrossFireX Enabled)
• Storage: Single HDD (500GB SATA @ 5400 RPM or 320GB SATA @ 7200 RPM) or Dual HDD in RAID 0 (1TB @ 5400 RPM or 640GB @ 7200 RPM)
• Dual layer Blu-ray writer
Apart from these you can also choose among a number of connectivity options, keyboard types, LCD and other peripherals.
