    Not available on the Alienware website. Only units available seems to be refurbs. Anyone know if this unit has been dropped? I was about to pull the trigger on one of these.

    Techno yeah bro it's probably because you have vista. I have an Asus G50, bought it from Best Buy and it plays GTA IV wonderfully at med settings. Plays WoW at MAX (Ultra) settings. I'm using Windows 7 RB 7100. It's basically Vista SP3. I'd probably update your nVidia driver from the nVidia website for best results
