Dell XPS 625 Desktop PC






The Dell XPS 625 is a strong Phenom II-based desktop PC, but if you're willing to spend an extra hundred bucks or so, you can get even more for your money.

Although the chip used here is the multiplier-unlocked Black Edition of the processor, Dell has chosen not to overclock the CPU one iota past its 3.0-GHz stock speed. That hurt the XPS 625 in a few benchmarks, which I'll address in a bit. Four gigabytes of DDR2-800 RAM run on a motherboard that sports AMD's 790x chip set. That isn't the highest memory clock the processor can support; it could support DDR2-1066, too, but we rarely see that on machines at this price point.
