Ten, Here's what it said in the article about the DELL... "The Dell Dimension XPS B1000r includes 128MB RDRAM, a faster kind of memory than the SDRAM found in most desktop systems, including the 1-GHz Athlon systems reviewed here. The B1000r has a Maxtor 40GB hard disk and <<<gets an extra boost from a proprietary graphics card based on the nVidia GeForce 256 graphics chip set with 64MB DDR memory?twice that of any other system reviewed here">>>" Dell has always do a good job with set up/benchmarks, to their credit. You can look back many years and see that Dell benches at or near the top in these comparisons. I'm in no way saying Dell cheated but the machines were not equal. (Cumine might have still won those benchmarks)Especially in price. Dell doesn't really care about the price anyway, they can't deliver. Jim
