 Low
Profile Design – Time to put that VCR
in the Garage
The Alienware DHS 2 series makes
the final leap into the home A/V world.
You will not be able to tell the back of
the DHS 2 series from your other home audio
equipment and connecting to your amplifier
or directly to powered speakers and TVs could
not be easier – "in
fact use the same cables you already have."

Intel
Pentium® 4 Processors with Hyper-Threading
Technology
The Alienware DHS 2 series features the
Intel® Pentium 4 processor with HyperThreading
Technology. Hyper-Threading Technology
(HT Technology) is ground-breaking technology
that changes the landscape of processor
design by going beyond GHz to improve processor
performance. HyperThreading Technology
allows the DHS 2 series to perform two
tasks at once – it’s almost as
if there are two processors packed into
the same package! This new technology enables better
performance with greater efficiency. For
the person sitting in the living room,
it means that the DHS 2 series will provide
the snappy response and great quality.

 Microsoft® Windows® XP
Media Center Edition 2005
Multiple Tuners
Perhaps the best new feature added to the
new Alienware DHS 2 series of media center
systems is the ability to have multiple
TV tuners. This feature allows you
to record or view multiple TV shows at
once. No more
fighting over which show your family will
watch on Monday nights at 8:00PM. This
ability, coupled with an electronic
program guide, means that you can
schedule recordings of an entire season,
a single show, a weekly time or many more
options of your favorite television show.
Another feature of the electronic program
guide is the ability to explore TV with
ease using the super-fast Media Guide or
find movies by time, by rating, and even by
actor or director with the new Movie Finder
that lists what’s on and when.
 Microsoft® Media Center Extender
Technology
Something that your cable company DVR can
only dream about, the Alienware DHS 2 series
allows you to send
all of your media – even
live TV – to another room in your home with
the addition of Microsoft’s Media Center
Extender Technology. While this may sound
complicated, it could not be easier. Simply
connect your DHS 2 series to your home
network, connect your media center extender
to your home network, and then seek each
other out! This ground-breaking technology
is so easy to use, you can even use your
Microsoft Xbox as an extender.*
Security of Windows® XP SP2
Microsoft® Windows® XP Media Center 2005
also has Service Pack 2 which brings
users Advanced Security Technologies and
innovations from Microsoft®. It establishes
stronger security settings that help defend
against viruses, hackers and worms, along
with tools that enable manageability and
control so it is easier for the user to
manage PC security.

 Discover
Console Technology
Simply put, Discover Technology turns the
Alienware DHS 2 series of media center
systems into a console video game machine
for your PC games. For years, to play PC
based games required a bit of technical
knowledge about PCs: what resolution, what
directory, what human-interface-device,
etc. Alienware and Discover change all
of that.
