Alienware makes a fine machine -- hopefully that'll still hold true now
that Dell has purchased the company. And if I were a heavy gamer, I'd
buy one for that purpose. But I don't believe your speed claims hold
water -- the current top-end PowerPC G5 machine uses two dual-core
2.5GHz processors, and will far outperform the Athlon64 I'm assuming
you're using.

I listened to a podcast last week that revealed that intel has a group
of inhouse games that have been playing with overclocking their
processors for some time now. They have convinced conservative
upper-management that it can be safely done with outstanding results.
