I wasnt even refering to the alienware gimmick. I just think that with what games can do these days that the old school way of dual shot gunning graphics cards should return. Especially with the new PCIX interface. Of course with the astronomical cost of a single card, running 2 would bankrupt some small countries let alone even the hardest of the hardcore gamers.

Now with alienwares hack job theres a 40% or so increase in proformace (i'll take your word seeing how i have seen no stats), i wonder about bottlenecks in other areas. That and the fact it is a hack job not something implimented from the get go you're naturally not going to see the increase in proformance you would expect. Frankly i think if major graphics developers were to look into this and impliment there own solutions into next generation lines you would see the proformance.
