An Odd Request For Help

[sanford]

I need help figuring out the exact, more or less, specs for Alienware Area-51 desktop full-tower PC purchased through Best Buy circa 2001/2002. It would have been a 1.6GHz or 1.8GHz Pentium 4, 512MB RAMBUS RAM, Nvidia card, probably, or ATI with 128MB or 256MB video RAM, I think DVI and VGA and S-Video out on the video board. DVD drive. 40GB hard drive. Soundblaster card in the Dolby 5.1 Audigy line, with a Firewire port on it. Would have been USB1.1.

Came with Windows XP Pro.

It was one of the square blue tower cases, with the locking door over the front drive bays, right before they released the more curvy Area 51 models.

Any ideas what the specs on this machine were? I bought it store display model and I've lost the Best Buy spec card that came with it. And I desperately need to know what's in it. Desperately.

Sounds like your video card was upgraded from this.

Try using the Device Manager (Control Panel -> System then click on the Hardware tab, then click the Device Manager button). This will let you see the components that are installed.

Thanks man, that's the one. I think it was the GeForce 3 with 128MB RAM. You've done me a huge favor.
