Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

@Starscream
It bothered you that much that I didn't capitalize those words?

I'm not wrong. I'm looking at it right now.
Processor: 4th Generation Intel® Core™ i7-4770 processor (8M Cache, up to 3.9 GHz)
It's the $1100 US base configuration

It also has a 1.5GB GTX 660

Weird. It says 3rd generation i7-3770 on the page I'm looking at. All 5 configurations have ivy bridge cpus, including the one you're talking about: http://www.dell.com/us/p/alienware-x51/fs

It also says it when you click on any of the individual configurations: http://configure.us.dell.com/dellstore/config.aspx?oc=dpcwxy3&model_id=alienware-x51&c=us&l=en&s=dhs&cs=19

Thanks for that. Everything is so much nicer to read when it is in sentences.

I'm in the US, so maybe it's a regional/national thing.
But the most expensive base configuration comes with a 4770 and you can upgrade the GPU to a 670 for another $200. That's a really powerful system! I wonder how a 330W PSU can power all that.

Weird, I'm in the US too and haswell cpus aren't available on any of them. Also are you sure that it uses a 330w PSU on all of the configurations? How did you acquire this information if I might ask?

Click on "Build Yours" click on "Tech Specs" tab, scroll down to Chassis, look at "Power":
Power
Alienware™ 240 Watt Power Supply (Standard)
Alienware™ 330 Watt Power Supply

And reviews indicate it is an external power brick, like the one on the Xbox 360. I added everything up using a PSU calculator. There is no way 330W can power a 4770, GTX 670, 2 modules of RAM, 1 SSD and 1 HDD, and a Blu ray drive, let alone the fans or anything else in the system.

Unless they underclock CPU and GPU clock speed and restrict users from changing that (notebook manufacturers do this)

They likely just wrote the wrong PSU specs.

Especially as they gave me a 450W PSU with a much weaker inspiron system.
