What if Alienware has 2 yrs. of experience with A64, Opteron, and x2 turion that Dell does not have as well as a vehicle for distribution of these systems...how much market cap has dell lost in the last six months...whatever dell paid it is a bargain compared to what they lost...Time=Money...;>)
P.S. Dell went from $40 to $24 a share with two billion shares outstanding...thats $32 billion haircut...Dell's management's Ass is literally on Fire...LOL
