Well if my crappy Geforce 4 MX 420 can run it with 30-80 frame rates, Im pretty sure the 9500 can run it with out a doubt. Well just look at the benchmarks reports of youre card with Unreal Tournament 2003, Give or take 10-15 frames Youll have a rough idea how it will run.

EDIT: Thought you were saying you were buying an Alienware... my bad.....i'll leave the message anyways...
ORIGINAL POST:
Your gonna end up paying out the *** for the Alienware system. I'd go to www.ibuypower.com (http://www.ibuypower.com) and buy one from there or even better, build your own. Alienware rips you off so much with their prices.

Asus Nforce2 (A7N8X)

You could save so much money buy building your own, and what you would buy with the money would be even better. So, if you look at the system that you want from Alienware, then go out and put together the same system from say Microcenter, you'll save money. And when you see what you have saved, you could use the extra to further top out your system, say with 2g of Memory and a Tight A$$ Monitor.

this game runs fine, i love it, dont get any of the bugs, and refuse to diss any the UBI people, (not sucking up ) so save the flames. Games like this is why i pay 4000 for a comp every few years. i love the co op team work, and adverse teamwork... but no one can convince me that this is a bad game..

Alienware sucks. They claim to be the Ultimate Gaming Machine. How can they be so "Ultimate" if they offer a total of two cases? I'd go with a company like Falcon-Northwest over Alienware. Sure, they cost more. But you get what you pay for.

You have no clue what your talking about. I just got my ALienware Area-51 two weeks ago. This computer will get over 300fps in Quake 3. Its funny how all these little alienware bashers are out there.. its just too bad they dont have enough money to have one built. Waaa Waaaa Waaa
Damn bunch of babies if you ask me. Just to let all the people out there know that Alienware is top of the line. Falcon is a close second. I dont know about you guys but I wouldnt want a birds face on the side of my comp. Stick with Alienware. Check out CNet.com look for yourself.

its not logical for people to hate alienware. they make powerful systems and charge a premium. who of you would turn down an alienware system if it was given to you?
i cant afford a lamborgini but i dont hate them

I don't hate them, they are REALLY good systems. I just don't care for the "SHOW OFF" way some are posting. And I apologize for my previous post, was not necessary, but too late now! The systems do ROCK and your right I would not turn one down if given to me. My point, and I should have been a bit less sarchastic previously, is that if you tear down the machine and go out search the web, find the parts, you can build the system (probably less the alien looking case, as I don't know if those are sold seperately) for WAY WAY cheaper than it is sold for. Yes you get 3 year service, but then it is through an outside vendor that is probably going to take a week, at minimum, to get fixed. Once again they are good systems and I am sure he will have a blast with it.
Good Hunting!

I really doubt you are old enough to be my daddy, but if you wish to think that than DADDY can I have one too! My facts are straight and if you don't have the cahones to post your cuss words with proper letters than don't bother to post. PUTZ is the best I can do because I refuse to bring myself down to the level of immaturity people like you bring to this forum. Bragging about having a fancy jazzed up system is just that bragging, My daddy can beat up your daddy type posts really don't need to be here and should not be here. I said your getting a good system, the only thing I was derogitive about was your obvious BRAGGING that I am getting an alienware system. Bring up the level of maturity if you are really old enough to be my daddy! Show the community that you can post without bragging! Be brave and grow up, act like an adult and post like one too. It really is nice that you can get such a fancy comp but please don't rub it into the people here, they really don't care that you have money to waste!

Fear-51: It's called "thinking". Learn it, love it, use it next time before you post. I have a steady paycheck, I also play airsoft but money has never been an issue when buying a computer. I could afford 3 alienwares, but do I buy them? No. Hell an alienware is a great system but any computer is just as good as another with the same parts in it. You pay your extra money for a name, and nothing more. When you build a computer, pride goes into it, and when you finally boot it up it's really exciting to see if all the jumpers and wiring is set up right. My case looks cooler than an alienware one, lighting up on the inside, 4 fans, LED display on the front, and a sliding motorized panel that moves along the front, covering/uncovering the drives. Cost me 60 bucks from mwave.com (highly recommended sight btw)
KShot said it the best and jesus christ, don't brag about the money your mommy and daddy gave to you for christmas, and then spell *** as @ss. Makes you look even more immature.
I'm glad you have your kickass system, but I have mine, along with it came extra money in my wallet, and some fun and work.
This isn't going anywhere fast, so I'll say one thing:
grow up
[ADDED]
please don't think I'm bashing Alienware, they're great looking and great running systems, and althought I believe them to be overpriced (actually I know they are), I'm only talking to "people" like Fear-51
