    Over the past year, modest gamers' dreams of a $1,500 system primed for the latest 3D titles have become a reality. Dell ushered in the era last spring with its XPS 630, which brought enthusiast flash into the mainstream market at a reasonable price.

    As for the XPS's graphics, although the ATI Radeon HD 4850 512MB is good, we'd prefer the quicker 4870 chipset in 1GB form for the price point. Read more

    • Nice design, Decent performance
    • Not the best CPU, Graphics should be better for the cash
