I have to admit I love pc games, Im not too picky bout fps and brands, but Id like to know that I have something decent that runs my games well enough for me to be happy.

Now the thing is I could go for one or the other... and I have till Feb to make up my mind, then Ill just do the good old coin toss.

But I was hoping before I get to that, maybe some of you could give me some suggestions, arguements etc.. Maybe some of you even have one of these laptops. All comments appreciated.

The alien-ware looks really nice, fully-fledged and it uses desktop components; but I wonder if the hardware is fully supported by anything but windows.

Personally, I'd go for the alienware, only because of the nice esthetics (and you can get 'em in different colours!)

Video RAM I assume? Is 128 megs for video an option? I've seem some new games coming out that are slow on less than 128. Its a action war game but the name eludes me. Tons of fast 3d modeling and details in it.

Also S.T.'s point on screen size is going to effect you gaming experience just as much a good or poor video adapter or lack of RAM or processor.
