    CNET Review

    February 12, 2009

    The Good: Overclockable AMD quad-core CPU; handy AMD overclocking and system-monitoring software; lots of room for expansion, including a second 3D card slot; beefy power supply.

    The Bad: Near-identical configuration available from other vendors for less.

    The Bottom Line: We expect anyone who purchases the Dell XPS 625 will be pleased with its robust midrange gaming components and the software that makes it easy to overclock them. We just wish Dell had been more aggressive with its pricing and that you didn't have to spend more money to make the most of this system's standout features.

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

    Review Summary: Dell's new budget gaming rig, built around AMD's Dragon platform, offers reasonable performance, but needs a better selection of available options.
