Dell Quad-Core XPS 710

Dell has released product updates for the discerning gamer out there. With Intel having now officially announced its quad-core processors, Dell has introduced its quad-core XPS 710 gaming desktop which can be equipped with Intel's Core 2 Extreme QX6700 processor.

According to Dell, the Core 2 Extreme QX6700 enables the XPS 710 to provide up to 55% better performance than the previous Core 2 Extreme dual-core processor used in the XPS 700. CNET put those claims to the test and found that the XPS 710 wasn't exactly topping the performance charts in comparison to its dual-core rivals from Gateway and ABS.

The Windows Vista Premium-Ready XPS 710 starts at $3,699 for a Jet Black chassis, Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6700 processor, 750W power supply and Dell's 2-year limited XPS warranty. For $100 more, you can upgrade to the Special Edition Formula Red model with a 1kW power supply.
