DELL: Game On! Dell Gaming Gets More Extreme

Dell today announced two new high-performance technology platforms for gamers and enthusiasts: the company’s most powerful and expandable consumer desktop and its first 30-inch widescreen flat panel monitor featuring 92 percent color gamut.

The Dell XPSTM 710 can be built to order with the new Intel® CoreTM 2 Extreme QX6700 quad-core processor option, which can deliver up to 55 percent better performance than an Intel Core 2 Extreme dual-core processor.1 The XPS 710's performance enables customers to easily run next-generation multi-threaded games or multimedia applications, high-definition video, or simultaneously watch movies and stream music from the same PC. Multi-threaded applications can take advantage of the quad-core chip's ability to control multiple tasks at once.

The XPS 710 also has room to grow, with four memory slots, bays for four hard drives and two optical drives, and seven expansion slots for single and dual graphics cards and hi-fi sound.

The latest addition to Dell's award-winning line of flat panel monitors, the Dell UltraSharpTM 3007WFP-HC raises the bar even higher for gaming and multimedia entertainment and productivity. The Dell UltraSharp 3007WFP-HC features 92 percent color gamut, an enhancement that delivers the latest in dynamic color technology to make colors richer and more realistic for a dramatic gaming experience.

Today, most monitors feature color gamut covering 72 percent of the NTSC color space. The new Dell 30-inch monitor increases the coverage to 92 percent of the NTSC color space utilizing a Wide Cold-Cathode Fluorescent Lighting (W-CCFL) backlight that delivers gamers, photographers and digital media "prosumers" highly vibrant and vivid images such as deeper reds and crisper blues. The wider color spectrum expands capabilities for users whether they are editing video, working with CAD applications or enjoying the latest games.

Additional features of the Dell UltraSharp 3007WFP-HC include 2,560 x 1,600 (WQXGA) resolution, 8-millisecond typical response time2, height-adjustable stand with tilt and swivel capabilities, integrated 9-in-2 media card reader, and four USB 2.0 ports for connecting devices such as digital cameras and printers.

1 Based on the 3DMark06 CPU benchmark test performed by Dell Labs in Sept. 2006 on a pre-production XPS 710 with Intel® CoreT2 Extreme QX6700 quad-core processor compared to an XPS 710 with Intel Core 2 Extreme E6800 dual-core processor, each system configured with dual channel DDR2 667MHz 2x 512 MB memory, Windows XP Pro SP2 OS, NV 7900 GTX graphics card, 2x 250GB HDD Raid 0. Actual performance will vary based on configuration, usage and manufacturing variability.


2 Typical response time is 11ms from grey to grey and 14 ms from black to white.


3 Based on currently available information from Microsoft. Requirements subject to change. Microsoft requires that a PC have a modern processor and a minimum of 512MB RAM to be included in the Windows Vista Capable PC program. Since the operating system and drivers are not final, Windows Vista has not been tested on all user configurations. Microsoft does not require that the Windows Vista Capable PCs enable the Windows Aero™ user experience; therefore, unless configured with the appropriate level of memory and graphics, some systems may only run the basic user experience. To experience Vista's advanced features, Microsoft recommends systems configured with at least 1GB of Dual Channel system memory (with two 512MB memory module DIMMs) plus a premium graphics card, like those offered by ATI or nVIDIA.
