Dell Dimension 8300 Review

by Mick Lockey

- WHAT'S HOT: This Dimension 8300 is one of the first in this line we've seen from Dell to pair Intel's high-end 3.2-GHz Pentium 4 CPU with a gigabyte of DDR400 SDRAM. Our review unit earned a PC WorldBench 4 score of 127--a negligible one point faster than its 8300 sibling with a 3.06-GHz Pentium 4 that we tested recently. The 8300 also has a first-rate list of other components. First up is the ATI Radeon 9800 Pro graphics board with 128MB of memory. Aimed at hard-core gamers, it achieved high frame rates and produced great-looking images when tested at 32-bit color and 1280-by-1024 resolution, the native resolution of the 18-inch Dell 1800FP LCD monitor. You can get high frame rates at higher resolutions if you add a CRT monitor (connected to the 9800 Pro's second, VGA output).
