Analysis:
Aureal's soundcards are good. How good? Good enough that Alienware has decided to use Aureal's sound cards in their gaming computer systems. In fact, Aureal Semiconductor Inc. announced that Alienware PC Systems has chosen to include Aureal's award-winning Vortex2 SuperQuad Digital PCITM sound card as the standard audio system for its complete line of PC gaming systems. The Vortex2 SuperQuad sound card will fully immerse Alienware customers into the latest gaming titles which support A3D 2.0 and/or Aureal Wavetracing.

'Alienware is extremely excited about using Aureal's Vortex2 SuperQuad Digital PCI Sound Card which utilizes Aureal's Wavetracing & A3D2.0 technology' says Nelson Gonzalez, President of Alienware PC Systems. 'In our opinion, this is the sound card of choice for the gaming enthusiast, bar none. Aureal is synonymous with high-quality audio technology and we only incorporate the best products in our systems, it's a natural fit'.

Aureal's Preferred Partners Program (AP3) allows systems integrators to purchase audio add-in products directly from Aureal. AP3 was created in response to demand for direct access to 'White Box' product support to independent computer manufacturers - who account for nearly a fifth of worldwide personal computer sales, according to International Data Corporation. Products available through AP3 include the Vortex2 SuperQuad Digital PCI, Vortex2 PCITM, and the Vortex AdvantageTM sound cards.
