bought this pc about 5 months ago for 1 grand with monitor 23 inches wide full hd included. I don't know if it was worth the price with the video card as for the power supply. Misc send me some recommendations for a video card which gives me the bang for the buck. Also I noticed the system runs some modern games like ****, I was thinking this was caused either by the video card or the 64bit processor.. Can anyone clear this up for me? here is a report. edit-- also the system is I think a dell studio xps. -------------------------------- Computer: Operating System Windows 7 Enterprise Media Center Edition OS Service Pack - DirectX 4.09.00.0904 (DirectX 9.0c) Computer Name PC User Name Joe Motherboard: CPU Type 4x , 2666 MHz Motherboard Name Unknown Motherboard Chipset Unknown System Memory 6135 MB BIOS Type Unknown Display: Video Adapter ATI Radeon HD 4350 Video Adapter ATI Radeon HD 4350 Monitor Generic PnP Monitor [NoDB] (N764H96L40JU) Storage: IDE Controller Standard Dual Channel PCI IDE Controller IDE Controller Standard Dual Channel PCI IDE Controller Disk Drive SAMSUNG HD642JJ ATA Device (596 GB, IDE) Optical Drive PLDS DVD-ROM DH-16D5S ATA Device Optical Drive TSSTcorp DVD+-RW TS-H653G ATA Device SMART Hard Disks Status OK CPU Properties: CPU Type 4x CPUID CPU Name Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 920 @ 2.67GHz CPUID Revision 000106A5h CPU Speed: CPU Clock 2660.26 MHz (original: 2670 MHz) CPU Cache: L1 Data Cache 32 KB L2 Cache 256 KB (On-Die, ATC, Full-Speed) BIOS Properties: System BIOS Date Unknown Video BIOS Date Unknown Memory -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Physical Memory: Total 6135 MB Used 2407 MB Free 3727 MB Utilization 39 % Swap Space: Total 12268 MB Used 2098 MB Free 10169 MB Utilization 17 % Virtual Memory: Total 18403 MB Used 4505 MB Free 13897 MB Utilization 24 % Physical Address Extension (PAE): Supported by Operating System Yes Supported by CPU Yes Active Yes The report goes further in depth I just selected what I deemed important, let me know if you need more statistics..

The video card looks like a integrated chip and integrated GPU's are not exactly performance beasts. Go for a Radeon 57xx or a Radeon 58xx. As to 64-bit CPUs - that will not slow your machine down. It will run just as fast as a 32-bit CPU with the exception that you will have the possibility to use a 64-bit operating system allowing to use 64-bit native applications and install more than 4GB of RAM. In short: 64 bit is 32 bit with additional potential . Can't really comment on your PSU, though - the specs for that have to be looked up from within the computer case itself.
