June 2, 2005--Alienware, the leading manufacturer of high-performance desktop, notebook, media center, and professional systems, announced the availability of the NVIDIA GeForce Go 6800 Ultra graphics processing unit (GPU) on select Alienware mobile systems. Alienware Area-51m 7700 mobile desktops and MJ-12m 7700 mobile workstations loaded with the GeForce Go 6800 Ultra GPU deliver exciting advancements like 256MB of graphics memory, support for Microsoft's DirectX 9.0 Shader Model 3.0 and NVIDIA UltraShadow II and PureVideo technologies.

The GeForce Go 6800 Ultra allows Alienware mobile systems to give users an incredibly powerful platform for playing graphics-intensive games and creating stunning visual effects at any location.
