Still, given that this system and its better-than-basic GeForce 240 GTS graphics card clearly have some gaming ambitions, we might have suggested that Dell trade the wireless networking card for an even better 3D card. And as long as you stay realistic about the image quality and resolution, you can probably eke out an acceptable experience from more challenging games. It should be fine for most mainstream PC titles, at least those that are currently available. Using this Dell for gaming is a slightly different story. We should also add that if you were to configure this same Studio XPS 8000 on Dell's Web site, you'd pay $1,308 as of this writing. Dell wins on price, though, and also on performance, as you'll see below. The Asus system above represented the higher end of the retail spectrum for the back-to-school season, and aside from the Dell's wireless card and the Asus' higher-end graphics card, the two are roughly the same as far as features. The combination of Intel's new Core i7 860 CPU and plenty of RAM makes this PC a versatile performer, and competitive among other desktops in its price range. Fortunately, there's more to this Dell than just looks.
