Daniel, I would need some more info from your computer to determine for sure, but I think it is compatible. Example: there are many different Alienware X51 computer setups, i.e. Ax51R2-1438k or the AX51r-2683BK and so on. Best place to tell is your Motherboard manual specifications for compatible CPU's. they all may have the same socket but, each may have different compatibilities. Hope this helps.

It totally depends on your motherboard. You need to find out if your motherboard has the right chipset to accept this processor.

Do you know what motherboard you have in it?. There has been a couple of different generations of the i3 cpu. So you have to make sure your motherboard has the right socket type for this cpu. You can download a free program like CPU-Z that will tell you the brand and model of the board. Then you can check what cpu`s that board supports.

Sorry, I do not know. I suggest that you ask Alienware if they will work, or check their memory compatibility list for your MB.

You must get the same generation of it as the i5 that's installed but from the i3 to the i7 within the same generation has the same socket.

It should fit. I dont know if your alienware has a high enough power supply so support it though

No, processors are specialized to the motherboard (more correctly it's the other way around). Typically laptops are not capable of changing parts aside from disk drives, memory, and hard drives. Perhaps you could change the processor in your laptop but it would essentially have to match what comes with it. And I would be very certain before buying anything that the processor isn't specialized for that laptop even if it has a familiar name.

It might not work but you should ask Technician Support at MSI Corporation. I found old chip was broke, replaced new and updated driver support on my Dell laptop. Awesome upgrading it.

If you don't know the answer to this question I would purchase a gaming system instead... I bought not and it crashes all the time... I also had to fight warranty issues with Alienware because thy kept sending me broken comps... This computers are garbage sorry... I regret my purchase

Amazon's replacement for the G51JX-X3 will be the G53JW-XA1, but higher specs and with i7. There will also be a G53JW-A1, also with i7 and beefier specs. Look for them to be available for pre-order in the next couple days.

The motherboard has an AM3/AM3+ socket, so it won't take an Intel processor. You can get a motherboard that takes Intel, and a graphics upgrade is recommended. So, basically, you might wanna just get a different computer

Yes you can. You can use just one of the listed supported CPU's. If you're having issues with a certain CPU you may need the BIOS upgraded, or buy a BIOS chip with the upgraded BIOS needed for the processor you're using.

I own an X51 myself and the answer is no. The 780Ti's length is far longer and requires more power than the X51 can supply.

Not this model. It uses a proprietary connector which is compatible only on select Alienware computers.

Yes, the specs for your board are here and it supports the X3s just fine.http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc;=en&dlc;=en&docname;=c02560084#N93

Yes, as long as the model ends in 5 or 6 (the CPU must have a built in GPU if you plan on using the onboard video ports). I'm using a Xeon E3-1226 with this board.

My understanding is that it should be compatible however, I am using mine in an older Alienware machine so I cannot verify for certain.

I am still wondering if an alienware x51 will fit does anybody actually know
