Go to SolutionQuestion about Aurora customisation
Hey there, I was choosing between the Aurora and Aurora ALX today and noticed that when I chose the ATI CrossfireX dual 1gb ATI radeon HD 5870 for the Aurora ALX, I got an error saying that i've exceeded the amount of PCIEx1 slots. I'm guessing that it's due to the sound card but I can't do anything since there is no "None" option for the Aurora ALX soundcard on the alienware singapore website. However, when I tried the Aurora, I had no compatibility problems when I chose the dual graphics card with the sound card. I did not get TV tuners or network cards for both systems. Can someone tell me why I get this compatibility error on the ALX?

If you choose the Dual 5870s, you cannot add any PCIe x1 cards. The sales site is mistaken. If you were to order it with a PCIe x1 card, the order would just hang until we cancelled it.
