    I have the Dell Dimension 8400 with P4 3.0 GHz, 1024 PC2 533 ram, Gigabit ethernet, onboard sound, Radeon X300 PCI-E, SATA 160GB master and SATA 320 GB slave and PATA DVD-RW and CDRW on the MB with Twin PATA 80GB for extra storage using a pci sata/pata 150 mb/sec card. The system boots up quickly (under 25 seconds to desktop). The gameplay is great averaging 40+ FPS on graphic intense games. The sound is lacking when playing DVD's. It is choppy but only on DVD's. The gigabit ethernet card quit working altogether and caused problems so I disabled it in bios and added a standard 10/100 NIC with no issues. Dell tech is no help to fix sound and NIC issues. No updates available to help me. If Dell would replace my system then I would buy another but they never offered so I will shoot for a custom build of my own in a few years when I can get the Omega core quad 8.0 Ghz with 64 GB PC4 4THz Optical ram with T-BUS optical card slots and dual 20 TB Fiber Optic Serial Interface 1033 mb/sec. drives on a 61 inch Gel Crystal High Def. TV with 1033 MHz refresh with ATI 8GB Quad core Pro Pixelon T-BUS card ( T-BUS is a 1024 Mhz bus card slot with optical interface ) Dream-On

    I ended up with the Dell Dimension XPS GEN 3 after a bad expereince with an Evesham system. I Wanted a new computer just prior to Christmas and I purchased the Evesham. The second I plugged it in I knew I couldn't live with it, the noise from the machine was horrendous - back it went. I was a little hesitant about choosing another computer - but I phoned Dell for a quote on an XPS Gen 3 (I only wanted the box not the peripherals) and was given a very very good price - much less than that shown ...

    I ordered the Dell Dimension XPS GEN 3 - 3.6ghz, 3GB ram (I do a lot of multitasking and media work), dual raptors HDD, x800 xt gfx card 256mb and this thing literally flies. Every game I have run on here gets perfect FPS on very high settings. Doom 3 constant 60 all on high running 1024x768, HL2 constant 100 all on max settings at 1024x768 and Counterstrike Source 80-300 (varies) all on high settings. I am extremely pleased with this rig, not just for gaming but for everyday computer tasks my w ...

    The Dell Dimension XPS GEN 3 is a beast of a machine, perfect for a PC gamer or even home use. However it all depends on the type of specification you order with it, I ordered mine with a 3.2ghz pentium 4, 400gb hard drive, 1024MB ram, 256MB ATI radeon X800 XT graphics card, 12X DVD/writer, sound blaster audigy 2 XPS plus 5.1 surround sound and the Dell 17" LCD TV/Monitor. This machine is so quick it's unbelievable, it can be easily upgradeable and at £2000+ I think it is a bargain, it wil ...
