After six years of using a Pentium III 550 MHz PC, I finally ordered a new PC (an XPS 710) from Dell. Its primary use: serious gaming (flight simulation with Microsoft FSX to be exact!). Check out the core stats:
- Intel Core2 Duo processor E6600 (2.4GHz, 1066FSB) w/Dual Core Technology and a 4MB L2 cache
- 4GB DDR2 SDRAM at 667MHz
- 768MB NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTX Video Card (supports DirectX 10!!)
- 160GB Serial ATA II Hard Drive (10,000 RPM)
- Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 (with free upgrade to Windows Vista Home Premium)
- 16X DVD+R/RW CD-RW Combination Drive
- Sound Blaster® X-Fi™ XtremeMusic PCI Sound Card
- 1 kilowatt Power Supply
- Copper Heat Sink
- Two 120mm x 38mm front fans

I wanted to get it with an Intel Extreme processor but, after, a lot of thought decided that the Core 2 Duo would be more than sufficient.
And, yeah, it only set me back by about 3 grand...
