    I got very good internet speed, but it seems Alienware.com is slow to load, I mean it lags bad...
    Anybody else experiencing this?

    Chrome takes a good 5-10 seconds to load the full page. I just get the background.

    Same here, except for 10 second to fully load the page not just the background. Btw I'm using the lastest Chrome BETA 19.

    Hey guys, txs for the responses.
    I use Chrome, but it dont matter the browser, I tried Firefox, Explorer, and even on my new iPad, the site just loads painfully slow...
    I hope they realize eventually that for a company that pushes new technology and is latest of the latest, a slow loading/lagging website does not provide a good impression.
    With all this said, Chrome seems to the browser that loads Alienware.com "faster" at between 10 to 15 seconds. My internet speed is 20Mbps down and 40Mbps up, (crazy up speed, it is Telnor Mexico)
