Default Holy Crap!

My new Alienware Aurora DDR is friggin awesome! I know its not THAT much , but I just recieved 10591 3DMarks using 3DMark2001 SE (not pro edition), and that score is with a few programs installed, such as RCTW and AOL Instant Messanger...I am so happy! RCTW runs perfectly, and the anti-aliasing works great. Just in case you didn't read the other post , here are the specs (I love showing off!)

Alienware Aurora DDR
Dragn Full Tower Conspiracy Blue Case
ASUS A7N266-C DDR
AMD XP 2200+
256MB DDR 2100 RAM (2 sticks)
GeForce 4 Ti 4600
Samsung 16x DVD-ROM
Seagate Barracuda 40GB 7200RPM HDD
SoundBlaster Live 5.1
1.44MB Floppy Drive
Microsoft Windows XP Home
KoolMax Cooling System
1YR 24/7 onsite warranty
340W Power Supply

Mousepad
Manuals in a binder
Alienware Tee Shirt

The whole thing set me back $1567, and this is with no speakers, mouse, keyboard, monitor, ethernet card, or modem. I didnt need an ethernet card because I am using a wireless network, therefore using a special PCI card.

One gripe I had was that when I ordered, I was supposed to be recieving a MSI motherboard WITH onboard LAN. Originally I ordered an LAN card for $40 more, but when I found out about the onboard lan, I canceled that component. But, they shipped a different one, therefore, I have no standard LAN. So if for some reason wireless stops working, I have no internet.

Honestly, I love this thing. Its beautiful, sleek, and fast.
