Alienware Area 51 7500

Nice machine, I wonder what that all would have cost at the time?

A lot, I'm sure!

This is the best 3DMark06 score the machine could muster before I slotted the low latency Patriot DDR2 RAM:

And it got this score with the new RAM slotted:

So the memory does make a marginal difference to the machines performance! (A 3% improvement to be exact!!!)

Using MSI Afterburner, the system statistics show that this machine in it's current configuration with the Quadro Plex can do what two 8800 Ultras in SLI simply wouldn't have been able to do, as they'd be out of video memory!

I've built this system to demonstrate the performance of the Nvidia Quadro Plex 1000 Model IV running on period specific hardware. (This video just shows the setup.)

Neat to actually see one of those Quadro Plexes in action, thanks for posting it up

It’s a pleasure! They seem to largely be forgotten pieces of hardware!
