Yes, depending on the options you select, what specs are you looking at?

If u posibly can, try getting the 8400 at least.  That way later on if u want to upgrade u will have more options.

I would recommend the XPS4 as they may be selling for cheaper now as Dell is trying to clear the way for the XPS5. Great gaming system!

The Intel 900 vid card is no good for gaming, try at least 1024 of ram if u can.  If all u can get is a 4700 then upgrade the vid card and RAM if possible.  The rest should be fine.  If u can try getting an 8400 or xps if u can afford it.  Those are better for gaming.

Which ever system you decide on, stay away from the ATI x300..it's about one notch above integrated graphics - and both are useless for gaming.

try to max out your ram and get a good video and graphics card like a GeForce4 or something better than what you listed

I need some help deciding between the XPS 4 and 5

It seems the 4 would be faster for me since its available in a 3.6 and the 5 is only a 3.2.

I leave all applications closed when im gaming so im trying to figure out if the 5 will actually run games faster or just allow you to do other applications while gaming.

Please help me ASAP
