Depends on your mobo, of course. What socket does it use? If it uses 475 your options are relatively limited, but if it's a 775 you can get the whole range of new and shiny CPUs.

I wouldnt recommend a laptop for playing games. Remember that laptop i bought that had the radeon 9000? It kicked ass, but the problem was that it broke loads of times because i was using it as a PC.
However, they are really handy for LAN parties. That is, for the duration of its technology which should be about 2 years tops.
Youve chosen the right brand. Alienware seem to be guys who know what theyre doing when it comes to laptop building and customer care.
Some issues with all Powerhouse Laptops:
---------------------------------------------
- Heat.
- Fan noise.
- Battery life.
- Physical stress.
If you need a laptop for work, office applications or any other non-game reason, then i would heavily reccommend one of those ultra-light, ultra-battery-time laptops.
Not only are they fabulously practical, you can also work on them for more than 2 hours.

Heh, that's one helluva laptop...I'm inclined to go with Def though, laptop for gaming = not really amazing idea. But, maybe you don't want to use it for gaming...but beats me why you'd need such a monster then. Except for the obvious fact that you are a tech snob.  
What about a shuttle pc? Not as practical, but meh, it's power and doesn't take much space. Shuttle pwnz LAN parties.
