It seems they bought that voodoo 2 SLI technology from back in the day i was hearing from somewhere else, and our implenting some version of it on their new systems, something called X2, which essentially allows you to run dual geforce6800 ultras of ATI X800 pci express cards, wow imagine getting like 50-100 percent more fps in Doom3.
Alienware Announces Video Array™ and X2™: An Exclusive Advancement in PC Graphics Technology
High-Performance PC Manufacturer promises significant performance improvements in gaming and graphics intensive applications.
MIAMI, FL May 12, 2004 - Alienware, the leading manufacturer of high-performance desktop computers, notebooks, and professional systems unveiled today at the Electronic Entertainment Expo, Video Array and X2 -- an exclusive, patent pending technology designed to significantly enhance the performance of graphics intensive applications including extreme gaming, professional design and engineering, real-time rendering and animation, and flight training and simulation modules.
Video Array is an accelerated graphics processing subsystem that will allow users to add multiple, off-the-shelf video cards to their Alienware computer systems and have both cards process graphic commands in parallel. Understanding the wide-ranging wants and needs of its customers, Alienware designed its solution so that it is not tied to any one specific video card. This design will allow users to take full advantage of the fastest video card on the market for a significant performance increase.
Alienwares exclusive Video Array combined with X2, an Alienware designed motherboard which is currently based on Intel Corporations next-generation chipset and will include dual PCI-Express high performance graphics card slots, will deliver significant performance gains over current graphic solutions. The new Video Array Technology and X2 motherboard will enable users to run graphics intensive applications flawlessly at maximized settings, render 3D visuals in record time, and much more.
“Innovation has always been one of our guiding principles,” said Nelson Gonzalez, Chief Executive Officer of Alienware Corporation. “This new technology continues Alienwares commitment to innovation and is only one of the many exciting technologies and products from Alienware.”
“Alienware has dedicated significant resources into our research and development team, focused on technology and innovation. We are confident that this new solution will dramatically impact the enthusiast market and further establish Alienware as the definitive high-performance leader,” said Humberto Organvidez, Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer of Alienware Corporation. “Our goal is to set the standard for all other performance-based PC manufacturers to follow.”
The Alienware Video Array and X2 motherboard will debut in Q3/Q4, exclusively through Alienwares new ALX brand, a family of extreme performance systems catering to the demands of the most hardcore PC enthusiasts. ALX systems will be sold only in the United States, directly through www.alienware.com/alx or 1-800-ALIENWARE.
