That's a low-end dual core AMD, id go with the pentium on that note.

a 3.8ghz is most likely a 1k+ chip, in that case compare it with a 1k+ AMD chip.

Hyptertranspot/ht technology = 1 core acting like 2 processors (think of it as emulating itself so oyu get double of what you have in reality)

NVivida graphics: Um, Sorry I've never use NVidia, probably won't ever, unless i get a gaming specific PC.

I just want to say, that you would save ALOT of money if you didn't buy an Alienware PC... That's my input...

That AMD processor is AMD's flagship gaming processor, just released a month or two ago if I'm not mistaken. For the best of the best look for the AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+. That's AMD's best dual core processor. Only go with Intel if you're into media editing (Photoshop, video editing, etc.). As for GPU's The 7800 GTX is nVidia's best GFX card (Bar the one they put in the Dell XPS 600 Renegade) the Quadro series is made for laptops. Hope this helps
