The Vector GX features the lowest-end processor in the Intel Core 2 Duo lineup: the 1.86MHz Core 2 Duo E6300. It’s a much more affordable chip than the higher-end Core 2 Duos found in the pricier Falcon Northwest Mach V and the Dell XPS 700. Rounding out the rest of the core specs are 1GB of 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM, a 250GB hard drive, and a 256MB Nvidia GeForce 7600 GS 3D card. Your disc-burning needs are met with both a dual-layer DVD burner and a DVD/CD-RW combo drive.

The Vector GX’s midsize black aluminum case is well constructed, with a large window on the side of the case so you can peer inside. The internal components are bathed in a cool blue glow emanating from a cold cathode light situated at the bottom of the case. The system’s fans and power supply have embedded blue LEDs that show off the parts to good effect, and the system’s cables are neatly tied away out of sight. A panel on the front of the case covers two USB 2.0 ports and a FireWire port; six more USB 2.0 ports and a second FireWire port are housed at the rear of the system.

The newest Vector comes with Intel’s brand-new Core 2 Duo E6300 dual-core processor, which replaces the older Pentium D and Pentium 4 CPUs. A mainstream processor, the Core 2 Duo E6300 is impressively fast. Though not as fast as the top-of-the-line Core 2 Extreme X6800 chip (found on the Falcon Northwest), it is much more budget friendly. There are many benefits to getting a system with a Core 2 Duo processor, not least its amazing speed (more on that in a minute). There’s also its 64-bit compatibility and virtualization technology, which virtually lets you run two systems at once.
