WARNING: Alienware Australia is ripping customers off

DO NOT BUY COMPUTERS FROM ALIENWARE THEY ARE OUT TO RIP PEOPLE OFF HERE IS HOW THEY RIPPED ME OFF.

We bought Alienware Area 51 Desktop from Australian Alienware Company they advertised Nvidia Mother board 790i chipset with dual ATI HD 4870x2.

Nvidia 790i chip set mother board does not support dual ATI HD 4870x2 in crossfire mode. Infact no NVIDIA mother that are SLI will support dual ATI video graphics cards in crossfire
mode.

Here is a link sent to us by ATI showing clearly their ATI 4870X2 cards will not operate in crossmode with Nvidia 790i Chip set mother board:
