It'll run it fine, i just don't understand why you'd spend so much money when you could build it your self for less than half the price.

If you can put a cartridge in an old NES you can build a computer

QFT

Alienware is Dell, need I say more?

And to answer the OP, it should run pretty darn good (though the idea of a laptiop with that SLI hardware makes me think there will be heating problems (and therefore possibly stability problems, and if they addressed heat issues, that means there's a good chance the laptop will sound like a jet engine when taxed from the fans)), either way, it won't justify the price[*]. Frankly I am doubious of the worth of having SLI in a laptop.

But, what do I know.

[*]: And again to the OP, the link you used (http://alienware.112.2o7.net/b/ss/alienware/1/G.5--NS/0) seems to redirect to a blank page (session and page must have expired), so I can't see the price (please post the price for that setup if you can), but I know they are overpriced.

Working link to his laptop:
http://www.alienware.com/products/ar...-notebook.aspx

And, uhh, yea, I guess you can't build your own laptop, so if you have to use a laptop, then I guess this is as good as any (if not pricey), but if you're open to buying a desktop, build your own.
