•  Chassis Design: XPS systems are easy to open, upgrade and expand with the tool-less entry chassis. The chassis comes standard with two front 2.0 USB ports, a front IEEE1394 port and front headphone jack, which are easily accessible behind a foldaway door. Thermal control features include dedicated internal fans for the CPU, power supply and PCI & PCI-Express cards. In addition, the power supply is in a separate compartment to minimize its effects on the system. The cable management system organizes multiple wires and allows for ease of system expansion and maximises airflow over internal components.

•  Operating System:
Microsoft ® Windows ® XP Home Edition
Microsoft ® Windows ® XP Professional

•  Power Supply: The XPS is packed with 460W power supply that is located in a separate compartment along the bottom of the chassis to minimise the heat transferred to other critical components.

•  Cooling Systems: Two dedicated low profile fans quietly provide cooling to the power supply. Two additional chassis fans draw air across the CPU, keeping the system cool and quiet. One more fan drives air across the PCI and PCI-Express cards to keep them cool while running.

•  XPS Support: The Dell XPS Support Team. Not just game savvy technicians, but serious players, too. When XPS customers dial the dedicated XPS support number, they are routed to a dedicated queue of special technicians specially trained on the Dimension XPS.

•  Processor: Up to latest Intel ® Pentium ® 4 Processor with HT Technology Extreme Edition, which allows high processing speeds for multiple applications. The Intel ® processor also features a new 1066Mhz Front Side Bus (FSB) with 2MB L3 cache, and uses the new Intel 925XE chipset for lightning-fast speed.

•  Memory: PC2-4200 Dual Channel DDR2 Memory at 533MHz. Configurable up to 4096MB using 512MB or 1024MB modules in pairs in the four accessible DIMM slots.

•  Video: Utilising the new PCI Express architecture of the Intel 925XE, the 256MB ATI Radeon X850XT delivers the performance, quality and bandwidth required for the latest DirectX9 games.

•  Storage: A range of SATA hard drives are available from the 250GB to 400GB to meet your storage needs. Choose your hard drive configuration from stand-alone, multiple or SATA-RAID using the integrated ICH6R controller. Three internal 3.5-inch bays are available for storage devices. All storage components are easily accessible with the new chassis design and cable management system for future expandability.

•  Drive Bay Options: Three 5.25-inch drive bays for your choices from the following drives: DVD-ROM, CD-RW, CDRW/DVD combination and DVD+/-RW.

•  I/O Ports: Eight USB 2.0 (2 in front/ 6 in back) ports for instant flexibility and future expandability. In addition, a front IEEE 1394 port is standard on the front with a 2nd port on back. (See Product Views for details of I/O ports.)

•  Connectivity: Integrated Gigabit Ethernet Networking makes the Dimension XPS broadband-ready for high-speed Internet access.
