How well will this run new games? My pld one is a hp pavillion dv6 and while it runs some, it really struggles wit hthings like GTA4 and Just Cause 2 etc. Is there anything it won’t run?

Is there a different between these two processors?

Intel® Core™ i7-820QM Processor (1.73GHz,4 Cores/8 Threads,turbo up to 3.06GHz, 8MB Cache)

What about the memory? Is it enough?

Any crticisms of alienware? Any praise?

Thanks
