Alienware ALX X58 Desktop PC's Review

Here is the Alienware ALX X58 desktop PC's spec list. This is an incredibly sick rig, but do you really need 24GB of DDR3 RAM? Or even 12 GB of the blisteringly fast 1600MHz computer memory? There is no PC game out at this date, and I doubt one will be released within the next 12 months, that will require two graphics cards with quad SLI GPU's. If you must have the very best, the Alienware ALX X58 certainly fits into that category.

Check out my hub page where you can get the full review, as well as an interesting comparison between this desktop and Falcon Northwest's best gaming laptop currently for sale; the Fragbook DRX.
