Specs:
Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9770 (3.8 GHz), 2 GB, 160 GB Standard, Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium, Core 2 Extreme, 1024 MB
The Good:
First Dell that ships with overclocked CPU and RAM; supports both CrossFire and SLI multi-graphics card configurations; well-designed hard-drive bays; useful software utilities with no clutterware.
The Bad:
Poor bang-for-the-buck, even for a high-end gaming PC; limited memory upgrade until 64-bit Vista becomes an option.
The Bottom Line:
Dell's updated flagship gaming desktop incorporates the latest hardware from Intel, Nvidia, and AMD into a system that delivers some very impressive gaming scores. We'd give it a higher recommendation if it wasn't so expensive compared with systems from the competition.
