Re: Hello
If you have the bank to purchase an alienware with those specs, I would recommend buying a newer dell vostro or inspiron with specs that will far surpass that (8600gt, 2gb ram, etc.) for less money. The specs you have there will certainly play those games, but not on high. Make sure you have vista as well, because halo 2 will not run on xp

Re: Hello
make sure u have atleast the 2 ghz processor and 2gb of ram, everthing will run more smoothly, and you should be able to play both of those games at mediumish settings with no problem(with the 2ghz processor and 2gb of ram ofcourse)
also if you have time to wait you should, alienware will redesign that model with more up to date specs, and if at all possible avoid alienware, HUGE rip off, they over charge for everything possible, you could pay 75% of that price for something else close to the same or even better

Re: Hello
I agree with mtnboydl. If you have the kind of money an Alienware requires, you can get far more advanced laptops for less.

Trust me, don't get it. Of course, I would love to get an Alienware, too, but only one of the best machines they have.
The GeForce 7600 is not a very bad card. While not a bad one, either, will be outperformed by the 8600M GT in a Dell Inspiron/Vostro.
The processor also MUST be at least 1.8 ghz.
If it's Vista, you need 2GB ram.
