Alienware Relaunches Area-51 ALX Desktop

May 22, 2008 – The best just got better. Alienware – the leading manufacturer of high-performance desktop, notebook and entertainment systems – has announced the relaunch of its acclaimed Area-51 ALX desktop. Long held as the standard for elite, ultra-high-performance computers, the all-new Area-51 ALX shocks the industry as the first and only desktop to offer the 3.2GHz Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9770 overclocked to an unimaginable 4.0GHz.

Alienware’s expert engineers have pushed the QX9770 to its maximum stable output for an intense experience that you can get only from an Alienware computer. Every new Area-51 ALX comes standard with Alienware ALX High-Performance Liquid Cooling.

Powering the Area-51 ALX desktop’s graphics, users have their choice between NVIDIA Quad SLI featuring dual NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GX2 cards or an ATI CrossFireX configuration with dual ATI Radeon HD 3870 X2 cards. Rounding out the system’s performance is up to 4GB of Corsair Dominator DDR3 1600MHz memory. No other system offers this level of raw power and aggression.

“The performance packed into the Area-51 ALX desktop is flat-out unheard-of,” says Marc Diana, Product Marketing Manager for Alienware. “Alienware has always been committed to building only the fastest, most powerful systems available, and that’s exactly what we’ve done with the new ALX.”

“By enabling the Area-51 ALX to operate at blazing speed with a great mix of performance and energy efficiency, the Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9770 is the heart of a system sure to excite any Alienware user,” said CJ Bruno, VP, GM Americas Sales & Marketing.
