Dell XPS 710 Review November 14, 2006

Posted by flung in : Windows Media Center , trackback

ExtremeTech has posted their review of the new Dell XPS 710 gaming system. This high end slick looking system is an update to the Dell XPS 700 system. The new XPS 710 now features Intel’s quad core processors as well as other updates to make the system support Windows Vista.

The system that ExtremeTech reviewed had the following specs:

Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6700 quad core CPU clocked at 2.66GHz
BTX motherboard
NVIDIA nForce 590 SLI for Intel Chipset
Single gigabit Ethernet port
RAID 0 or 1
ATI CrossFire Graphics
2GB DDR2-667
2×160GB HDD
16x DVD ROM
Sound Blaster X-Fi
Windows Media Center 2005

Here’s the verdict from ExtremeTech on the new quad core XPS 710.

Underneath the striking red and silver exterior lurks a system that’s curiously lacking in bleeding-edge features. But performance is reasonable, if unexceptional, and Dell does build in overclocking options for users willing to try it on their own. The system does need a graphics update, though.

The new Dell XPS 710 will go on sale starting on November 15th.
