Dell XPS 420 Review:
The standard Dell XPS comes with an Intel Core 2 Q6600 Quad-Core CPU. This Intel Quad-Core has 8MB of L2 cache, runs at 2.4 Ghz and has a 1066 front-side bus. This Quad-Core should be a very good choice in a gaming PC. However, the 2.4 Ghz processor is not the fastest for gaming. But, for any additional $100 you can add a Intel Core 2 Duo processor that runs at 3.16GHz. For a gaming PC, I think that this would be a good upgrade to choose for an extra $100.
The standard Dell XPS comes with 3GB of Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 667 MHz. You can upgrade this RAM to faster RAM if you like. You can also add an addition 1 GB of RAM to bring you up to 4GB of Ram.
On of the best things about this Dell best gaming PC sale is that for the $1,199 price you also get a 19″ monitor. This 19″ monitor is a flat panel monitor. For $1,199, this is a great price for a Dell XPS 420 with a monitor.
Instead of highlighting all of the components, here is a list of the components that comprise the standard build,
- Intel® Core™2 Q6600 Quad-Core (8MB L2 cache,2.4GHz,1066FSB)

I just bought this same machine 3 weeks ago when they were running an even BETTER deal on it. I got mine for $1100 TOTAL with an 8800gts, 4gb RAM, and the quad core processor. This deal isn’t as good as the one a few weeks ago was =(
Great machine though, I love it.
Stunning pc..! While this PC blows away it’s competitors in terms of pricing and quality, for once..Dell has concentrated on the build and looks to bring forward the ultimate desktop.

it has got good ram but not game computer because the cpu is old you dont play nfs or new 3d games
Great PC! But I still prefer to play with console likes Wii, PS3, or PSP
This pc is great but it is not best suited for the latest games. I prefer nvidia cards a lot than ati cards.
Yeni, Are you sure? I think that is a perfect for gaming and for NFS. I have played that on a similar system. It is pretty good for online 3D games as well.
Thanks for the info!
Everyone is right here but latest games always need latest technologies. You know that is the way of selling, marketing, and gaming. Although I prefer to play games on wii or PS3 but there are some games who should only be played on computers.
It`s not bad machine but still my favourote console is wii :]
Hey people, this post is about Dell’s new gaming machine. There’s no need to keep mentioning these underpowered games consoles
Nice CPU -
Core 2 Q6600 Quad-Core. I gonna buy a computer with this CPU this fall. Can’t wait to play Grand Theft Auto 4 on it…
The cpu is fine for gaming. The video card is what you should be concerned with.
Yeah it’s not that bad, I don’t really like it. I have 3 at home and all of them have already given me trouble.
Good choice. Such PC for $1200 is really good. But if you know how to assemble a computer, it’ll be cheaper for you.
Nice comp… but I’d not buy VISTA - it really sucks.
I have this PC and I find it truly amazing. Dell support on the other hand……
I love gaming consoles because games can be played better on that. There might be some people who love to play games on PC but PS3 has changed the gaming life. I have played WOW and half life on my system but games on consoles are very different. Regarding this PC, it is not a bad deal and it has very good specification.
Wow, that processor is beast. That PC will definitely be able to handle most of today’s games, if not all.
Would’ve been better if it had 2 260GB HDD set up with RAID 1 and a better graphics card, though.
Nice monster, except:
# Genuine Windows Vista™ Ultimate
# 3GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 667MHz - 4 DIMMs
Vista does not support more then 2 GBs of RAM
This Dell Case looks awesome…
Yes, saw this exact machine on sale…was itching for it till I settled with Alienware last minute -_-;; oh wells….
It sounds like a decent enough spec…but most folks seem to have moved over to consoles - probably because they don’t need to rebuild/replace a high-cost PC every few years. Is PC gaming more of a niche thing now?
I’ve always found it better to build your own PC, especially for high end gaming computers. Dell does have some sick coupons occasionally though.
I guess, this computer is outdated already. See, the videocard was released more than 1 year ago! Its power will not be enough for current and next games (like Crysis). So buy PC with modern GeForce GTX 260/280 or ATI RADEON HD 4870. They will be actual at least 2 years.
That is a screamin deal for a gaming PC! I think I will stick to console though because a computer is where I work I don’t want it to become how I play too.
Walmart sells the exact same thing for $998
