MIAMI - Nov. 15, 2005 - Alienware(r) -- the leading manufacturer of
high-performance desktop, notebook, media center, server and

first mobile system to be powered by AMD Athlon(tm) 64 FX and AMD
Athlon(tm) 64 X2 dual-core processors. The Aurora m7700, an ideal
alternative for anyone looking to replace their desktop without
sacrificing performance, comes loaded with desktop-equivalent processing
and graphics capabilities as well as dual hard drives and dual optical
drives.
The Aurora m7700 is available with AMD Athlon(tm) 64 FX or AMD
Athlon(tm) 64 X2 dual-core processors, conveniently giving users
powerful 32-bit and 64-bit performance capabilities respectively. With
AMD Athlon 64 FX processors, the Aurora m7700 delivers blazingly fast,
cinema-quality gaming, while AMD Athlon 64 X2 dual-core processors

processors when running multiple programs and multi-threaded software.
In addition to packing the latest NVIDIA(r) graphics technology for
exceptional image quality, the Aurora m7700 features a 17" wide-screen
LCD with ClearView technology that provides a crisp, vibrant display and
plenty of workspace for any application. The Aurora m7700 also supplies
tremendous storage and backup flexibility with support for dual hard
drives in RAID 0 or 1 configurations and options for CD-RW/DVD and DVD

systems cannot deliver the same experience as high performance
desktops," said Frank Azor, Senior Vice President and General Manager of

"AMD and Alienware have an impressive history of working together to
provide customers with award-winning desktop PCs based on open industry
platforms with true best-of-breed components," said Chris Cloran,
