The XPS 625 sports a brand-spankin’-new AMD Phenom II X4 940 processor. Although the chip used here is the multiplier-unlocked Black Edition of the processor, Dell has chosen not to overclock the CPU one iota past its 3.0-GHz stock speed. That hurt the XPS 625 in a few benchmarks, which I’ll address in a bit. Four gigabytes of DDR2-800 RAM run on a motherboard that sports AMD’s 790x chip set. That isn’t the highest memory clock the processor can support; it could support DDR2-1066, too, but we rarely see that on machines at this price point.

A single Seagate 500GB hard drive provides above-adequate storage for the system, upon which Windows Home Premium 64-bit comes preinstalled.

On top of the stylish case is a small handle; this activates the door release. Just give it a tug upwards and the side of the case pops open, letting you tinker around inside, as well as perform upgradeys. There’s a ton of space inside of the case for modifications or upgraded components; Dell’s left it so that you can do pretty much whatever you want to the XPS 625. One big plus is that Dell actually put a 750 watt power supply in this machine, so for once you don’t have to worry about upgrading the power supply if you buy the desktop now and decide you want to add an additional video card and a few fast hard drives. Granted, not all power supplies are created equal, and there’s no telling how good the quality of this power supply is, but I’m willing to give the Round Rock juggernaut the benefit of the doubt.

The CPU in our test rig was an AMD Athlon X2 5600+ Black Edition running at 2.9 GHz. Deeper-pocketed consumers can upgrade to their choice of three other Dragon platform processors from AMD—quad-core Phenoms—but you’ll be tacking on between $100 and $375 to the price. Assuming the goal of going with the XPS 625 is to keep costs low, forking out for a more powerful processor doesn’t make much sense—especially given that the entry-level CPU (slightly overclocked—we’ll get to that in a bit) proved quite adequate in the games we tried.

As a complement to AMD OverDrive, you also get AMD Fusion, which acts like a software manager. It appears as a simple dial on your desktop. Turn it on before you launch a game, and it shuts down all of the extraneous applications and processes that sap performance. It comes with three presets, as well as a profile manager for creating your own settings. OverDrive is probably more useful of the two programs, as it’s easy enough to manage your background processes by hand. Both of these are worthwhile value-adds, but neither is exclusive to Dell. You’d expect to find them the on the less expensive Maingear Dash referenced above, for example, which also offers overclockable Black Edition AMD chips.

Review By Extremetech

The CPU is cooled with an air cooler consisting of 8 copper heat pipes, with a single fan sandwiched between two layers of aluminum fins. Robust airflow is available throughout.As with other XPS systems, the front panel lights offer multiple colors and are tunable. The OS is Vista Home Premium x64, and also includes the Dell Dock, an add-on interface that strongly resembles the MacOS dock.The optical drive is mounted at the top, front of the case, which is something of a nuisance. When the drive tray is fully extended, the extruded aluminum case edge hands over, so you have to partly slide the disc into place before dropping it into the tray.

Since the system is designed as a low cost gaming platform, graphics are important. The Dell XPS 625 comes equipped with the ATI Radoen HD 4850 graphics card. This is a good budget graphics card that offers decent performance for those looking to play games. Expect to be able to play most of today’s games up to the 1680×1050 resolution. Higher resolutions are possible in some games but not all. It would have been nice to see Dell offer the higher performance 4870 or NVIDIA GeForce based cards as an option but they are not.

One thing that Dell does so right with the Dell XPS 625 is their Windows XP Professional downgrade. In many tests, the older XP platform does perform better for PC gaming than the newer Vista operating system. Of course, consumers are paying for Vista still and also for the XP downgrade.
