Alienware Has 4 Ghz CPU's and 3.8 EE's

[Kunaak]

kinda irrelevant, but interesting to see none the less.

4ghz P4 775 chips are already out, and 3.8 EEs too.
doubt you and I will be able to buy them anytime soon, but who knows...

Thats a hell of a pricetag though.

[bh2k]

and a supposide 49 day turn around for it?

[eva2000]

ouch.. the 3.6EE LGA775 retails in OZ at AUD$1680 = US$1220 heh

[boasist]

did you notice that they are overclocked chips?

the EE is a 3.4@3.8

and the 4.0 is a 3.6@4.0

kind of sucks that alienware is advertising these chips as 4.0 and 3.8 on the main page though.

Wow, good finding.

Can they really do that?

[boasist]

does voodoo pc or falcon sell overclocked machines at their overclocked speeds? i knew alienware sold overclocked pc, yet i didn't know that they sold them in this fashion.

i think that some californian company, lieberman pc or something uses vapochills to cool thier cpu, and they have been selling OC'd pcs for quite sometime, hefty pricetags too.

i don't know if they can do this, i'm sure they can, since they do tell you, just not directly up front.

[Reflex1]

lol. looks like we'll have to wait a bit longer for 4ghz stock CPU's

[Iridium192_217]

There are a few companies that sell pre-overclocked machines, so I am pretty sure its ok.

[Kunaak]

interesting, seems they are atleast trying to give people a PC that remotly matchs the 533 DDR2 ram in there.
kinda...

[Çhrist0ph]

i would really like to know how many people will spend over $5000 when ALX debuts....

[skate2snow]

They are supposed to say that it is overclocked.

Look the price for only an easy thing such as a totally basic overclcoking on watercooling....

Kanavit, as someone who doesn't OC curious what you would do with this system if you owned it? Would you run it @ out of box clocks or would you slow it to default speeds? ;)

[Kanavit]

I would run it @ stock right out of the box. if they overclocked it, it must have been tested for stability before shipping. I would leave it as is.

So using the same logic, why not OC and test your own rig for stability!! Come on, just a measly couple hundred mhz to start! ;)

I don't think he would know how to underclock it.

[HawainPanda]

Actually, amd(for sure) but im not so sure about intel, allow like a 5% variation in clock(overclock no doubt) and itll still be underwarantee, so if alienware is doing this, they’re doing it with a lot of money put aside for replacement parts and stuff
