Dell XPS 410 Review

- The Dell XPS 410 provides a nice mix of robust features and solid performance, at a reasonable price. Priced at $2350 (as of July 14, 2006), our test system came equipped with Intel's 2.4-GHz Core 2 Duo E6600 processor and 2GB of DDR2-667 RAM. In our WorldBench 5 tests, the system earned a mark of 138--an impressive score for a system with so moderate a price.

    Duration of ownership: 1 Month

    Strengths: Great sales support. Sales associate was knowlegeable, patient, and informative. She even gave me her personal extension so that I could call her back. I also appreciated the no-haggle approach. -Internal components are easily accessable. -Delivered quickly! -Options for building my own machine were adequate and well explained

    Weaknesses: -Needless or undesired software preinstalled! -Why are we still selling keyboard/mouse combos with wires in 2006-2007? -The Silver/Black/White color of the tower does not work.

    Overall Evaluation: I purchased a Dell XPS 410 with: Intel Duo Core Processor E6600 2 Gig Memory 250 Gig Hard Drive Windows Media Center 2005 w/ free Vista Upgrade 256MB GeForce 7900 GS nVidia Graphics Card No Monitor For under $1,500. With the overall performance of the machine for the exceptional price, it is a STEAL! I can raise all graphic settings and never notice a stutter. Even while running high demanding games such as Doom III and Company of Heros. I am not disappointed in the performance at all.
