And you won't have to pay extra for stuff you don't want.

My PC's faster :P simply because my Q9550@3.65ghz beats crap out of 3.2 i7, same as GTX 280 (with clocks of GTX 285 hehe) beats crap out of 4870.

Other than that its a really nice machine. Except the fact I don't like Extreme Edition CPUs - $1000 for "extreme" in the name, while you can get the same speed while saving $700 on CPU. But machine's nice :P]]>Feb 25th 2009 4:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/sleek-new-studio-xps-435-materializes-on-dell-website/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/sleek-new-studio-xps-435-materializes-on-dell-website/
ha no your cpu isnt better than an i7. the i7 has 8 threads and is a better achitecture than core2. combined with the fact that the 965XE can easily OC to 4ghz... and it has more ram than your life, its ddr3 and itrs trippe channel with an integrated memory controller...

oh and my 3.8ghz i7 920 beats your cpu.]]>Feb 25th 2009 5:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/sleek-new-studio-xps-435-materializes-on-dell-website/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/sleek-new-studio-xps-435-materializes-on-dell-website/Feb 25th 2009 7:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/sleek-new-studio-xps-435-materializes-on-dell-website/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/sleek-new-studio-xps-435-materializes-on-dell-website/We've even differed our OS purchase to later this year my running the Windows 7 64 beta. (With a surprising amount of success!)

Asus P6T6 WS Revolution MB
Core i7 920 CPU
CoolerMaster V8 CPU Cooler
6GB Corsair RAM (For starters)
MSI OCed 285 (One for starters)
Asus 22" 1080p LCD

These things are PHENOMENAL, and we haven't OCed our 920s yet.

Awesome stuff, but BUILD IT YOURSELF by all means if you're up where the air is rare ANYWAY.
You get SO much more for the money if you're willing to do the work for yourself.

Good luck overclocking a Dell.
Your first obstacle will be their restrictive BIOS's.
If you somehow manage to find just enough potential locked away there (a remotely slim chance at that), then your second obstacle becomes the comparatively crappy heatsinks they put in their systems.
If you happen to find a way to fit one of the better heatsink/fan or water cooling units into their systems (most have many obstacles that get in the way) and a way to overclock it, then you will have to worry about the relatively cheap power supplies they put into their systems that are usually made to deliver just the right amount of power for the default configuration, not an overclocked one.

After that is all said and done, it will either be an exercise in frustration or one in which you would have to have purchased a separate power supply, a separate cooling unit, and still not have a chance of getting a decent overclock out of them due to the very nature of their motherboards and BIOS's , which are not made with overclocking in mind.

Lastly, you will have already spent way more than you should have if you had instead built it yourself.]]>Feb 25th 2009 9:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/sleek-new-studio-xps-435-materializes-on-dell-website/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/sleek-new-studio-xps-435-materializes-on-dell-website/Feb 25th 2009 10:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/sleek-new-studio-xps-435-materializes-on-dell-website/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/sleek-new-studio-xps-435-materializes-on-dell-website/cheap bastards.]]>Feb 25th 2009 1:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/sleek-new-studio-xps-435-materializes-on-dell-website/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/sleek-new-studio-xps-435-materializes-on-dell-website/
Your overclocked C2Q will only beat a standard-clocked Core i7 in a very limited number of specific circumstances -- mostly in rare gaming situations where the processing is CPU-bound.

For the majority of applications, the Nehalem with 8 threads and twice the memory bandwidth will easily prevail.]]>Feb 25th 2009 6:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/sleek-new-studio-xps-435-materializes-on-dell-website/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/sleek-new-studio-xps-435-materializes-on-dell-website/Feb 25th 2009 2:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/sleek-new-studio-xps-435-materializes-on-dell-website/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/sleek-new-studio-xps-435-materializes-on-dell-website/Feb 25th 2009 2:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/sleek-new-studio-xps-435-materializes-on-dell-website/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/sleek-new-studio-xps-435-materializes-on-dell-website/

And just to be a dick and so that you can't say this post is worthless:

The Intel QuickPath Interconnect ("QuickPath", "QPI") is a point-to-point processor interconnect developed by Intel to compete with HyperTransport. Prior to the announcement of the name, Intel referred to it as Common System Interface or "CSI". Earlier incarnations were known as YAP (Yet Another Protocol) and YAP+. The development was conducted at Intel's MMDC (Massachusetts Microprocessor Design Center) by members of DEC's Alpha Development Group (acquired by Intel). It will replace the Front Side Bus (FSB) for Desktop, Xeon, and Itanium platforms. Intel first delivered it in November 2008 on the Intel Core i7 desktop processor and the X58 chipset, and it will be used on new Nehalem-based Xeon processors and Tukwila-based Itanium processors.
The QPI is an element of a system architecture that Intel calls the QuickPath architecture that implements what Intel calls QuickPath technology. In its simplest form on a single-processor motherboard, a single QPI is used to connect the processor to the IO Hub (e.g., to connect a Intel Core i7 to an X58.) In more complex instances of the architecture, separate QPI links connect one or more processors and one or more IO hubs or routing hubs in a network on the motherboard, allowing all of the components to access other components via the network. As with AMD's Hypertransport, the QuickPath Architecture assumes that the processors will have integrated memory controllers, so a multiprocessor system implements a NUMA architecture.
Each QPI comprises two 20-bit point-to-point links, one in each direction, with a separate clock in each direction, for a total of 42 signals. Each signal is a differential pair, so the total number of pins is 84.
Performance numbers for QuickPath are reported to be 4.8 to 6.4 Gigatransfers per second (GT/s) per direction. Therefore the bandwidth amounts to 12.0 to 16.0 GB/s per direction, or 24.0 to 32.0 GB/s per link.
On high-reliability servers, A QPI link can operate in a degraded mode. If one or more of the 20+1 signals fails, the interface will operate using 15+1, 10+1, or even 5+1 remaining signals, even reassigning the clock to a data signal if the clock fails.
The initial Nehalem implementation uses a 20-bit wide 25.6 GB/s link (operating at a width of 16-bits, as reported in the Intel Nehalem Speech on IDF). This 25.6 GB/s link provides exactly double the theoretical bandwidth of Intel's 1600 MHz FSB used in the X48 chipset.
Current processors operate at 16 bit link widths. The rate at which the QPI functions is based also on the CPU at hand; The Core i7 920 and 940 function at 9.6 GB/s unidirectional and 19.2 GB/s bidirectional while the Core i7 965XE functions at 12.8 GB/s and 25.6 GB/s respectively.]]>Feb 25th 2009 3:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/sleek-new-studio-xps-435-materializes-on-dell-website/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/sleek-new-studio-xps-435-materializes-on-dell-website/Feb 25th 2009 2:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/sleek-new-studio-xps-435-materializes-on-dell-website/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/sleek-new-studio-xps-435-materializes-on-dell-website/
