Dell XPS 625 Desktop Computer (500GB HDD, 4GB)

Overclockable AMD quad-core CPU ; handy AMD overclocking and system-monitoring software ; lots of room for expansion, including a second 3D card slot ; beefy power supply

Near-identical configuration available from other vendors for less

We expect anyone who purchases the Dell XPS 625 will be pleased with its robust midrange gaming components and the software that makes it easy to overclock them. We just wish Dell had been more aggressive with its pricing and that you didn't have to ...

But after looking for systems to compare with Dell's new $1,499 XPS 625, it seems as of this writing that the entire desktop market is behind in offering AMD's most up-to-date, DDR3 RAM-supporting chipset. If you're simply after the best deal...

Dell XPS 625

XPS 625

By David Murphy

The $1499 (without monitor) Dell XPS 625 is at the high end of our sub-$1500 value PC category in both performance and price. But if you're willing to consider systems priced just a few hundred dollars more, which throws Intel Core 2 Quad-based ...

Strong design Phenom II CPU

Slightly pricier PCs deliver much more performance

We've thrown a bunch of numbers at you in this review. But it's important to get a fair representation of this Phenom II-based machine, as AMD sees its newest processor as a viable alternative to Intel's quad-core lineup. "Alternative" might be too ...

The XPS 625's WorldBench 6 score of 108 ties with that of the $1129 Dell Inspiron 518 desktop; both systems are in the upper region of value PC performance (rightly so for the XPS 625, as its price is at the top end of the category). The XPS 625...

Dell XPS 625

By Loyd Case

Based on our review of AMD's latest Phenom II processor, we noted that the new processor could make up the core of a fairly low cost gaming system. Dell has stepped up to the plate, adding an all-AMD system based on the "Dragon" platform. The Dell XPS ...

Good price performance ratio ; nice touches abound, including pre-strung drive cables ; lots of expansion

Lack of flexibility in choosing options ; better graphics needed

Dell's new budget gaming rig, built around AMD's Dragon platform, offers reasonable performance, but needs a better selection of available options.

The Dell XPS 625 joins the XPS line of gaming rigs, and features an AMD 790GX ATX motherboard, AMD Black Edition CPUs, and Radeon HD 4000 series graphics.#article{ width: 480px; }SLIDESHOW (4)Slideshow | Dell has stepped up to the plate, adding an...

The Dell XPS 625 looks the part but you may feel the need to upgrade its innards before long

The name of the game here is more evolutionary rather than revolutionary, but the new Dell XPS 625 takes what is and operates. The system itself is not surprising in a particular area, but if all the small details that come with a powerful system that ...
