Dell XPS 710 H2c Good deal ?

can any pc boffs tell me wether or not getting the Dell XPS h2c is worth getting?

Its got:

Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6700 (3.4GHz)

2gig Ram DDR 667MHz (4 gig max)

Nvidia Nforce 590 SLI motherboard

2x 320gig Western Digital WD1600 10,000rpm

CD / DVD type 16x DL DVD-RW

2x Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTX

and Windows XP

My uncle bought it for £3000, my dad wants 2 buy it for £2000 atleast. My uncle also told me that he was gonna buy a big ass 2xQuad core computer! holy ****!!!

XP + 8800 = PhailLouieV13

I give that comment Phail/10

To the OP : its an amzing PC but you could build the same system yourself for a lot less money, Dell overcharge, massively!

Anyway to the OP: Save some $$$ and get a XPS 410 with a 8800GTX and a 22",much cheaper,or better yet build your own rig.

He could easily just buy Vista in the future..

and most games will be available in DX9 mode anyway, and from what I've seen there isnt a huge difference between DX9 and DX10 image quality.

It is worth every SINGLE last penny. Awesome rig.

It's too bad they don't put in a better motherboard for that price.Bebi_vegeta

There is nothing wrong with the motherboard on the 710H2C. Works just fine.

It works fine, but it could be better .... did i say it sucked?

680i is know to be a better overclocker.

No, you didnt say it "sucked". But comments like "it could be better", or the other one saying "isnt that great" for a motherboard that scores 17802 on 3DMark 06 are a bit.. off.

And, did I say you said it sucked? :D

Why are you so protective about Dell, do you own that compagnie?

For a high end computer, you would expect high end parts just as well.

Protective? Naahhh, I just hate it when people talk about a computer I happen to know something about, and they say things I disagree with.

At the time the 710H2C was released, that was the chipset Dell was using, and in Dell's implementation, it overclocks just fine. I can run mine at 3.6GHZ reliably, and the 680 can't do any better. The 720 has a 680 motherboard if that is such a big concern, but it shouldnt be. All this talk about the 590 chipset and the "crap" that it is completely ignores the FACTS behind the awesome performance of the 710H2C. Its just a fact the machine is a monster, regardless of anyone's opinion of the 590 chipset.

Any PC for that price is a monster.
