Well-known manufacturer of high-performance desktop, notebook and entertainment systems, Alienware Company, announced that their desktop systems equipped with four GPUs thanks to ATI CrossFireX technology are now available for ordering. The new Alienware ALX CrossFireX desktop computer utilizes two ATI Radeon HD 3870 X2 graphics cards, each housing two GPUs and a full 1GB of dedicated graphics memory – that’s 2GB of dedicated GDDR3 graphics memory.

AMD recently enabled CrossFireX (Triple- and Quad-CrossFire) technology in its latest Catalyst 8.3 drivers, and Alienware couldn’t help taking advantage of this opportunity. The company’s senior vice president, Brian Joyce, described the ALX CrossFireX as “our most sophisticated desktop system,” and said that “adding the awesome power of a quad graphics solution like CrossFireX to the ALX desktop is just one more way Alienware strives to deliver the world’s best PC gaming experience.”

Other features of the system include 45nm quad-core Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9650 processor overclocked to 4.0GHz frequency and 4GB of DDR3-1333 SDRAM. The system is built on an Intel X38 based mainboard. Area-51 ALX CFX desktop in the above described configuration is a little over $6000. Besides the above listed components, Alienware is ready to supply their system with two 64GB Solid State drives, however in this case you will have to pay extra $1250.
