No-Cons. How many computers get a review like that. And it uses a CineMaster card(C-Cube)........................ pcworld.com Note: The following article is the original review for a product currently appearing in PC World's Top 100. Price and some other information may no longer be current and may not match this month's chart specifications. 1. Dell Dimension XPS T500 Product Information PRO: 4.8X DVD-ROM drive with hardware decoder card, good record for reliability and support CON: No major flaws Correction: We incorrectly stated that the XPS T500 doesn't have a standard 3.5-inch floppy drive but in fact, it does. This review was modified on March 18, 1999, to remove the erroneous statement. --Editors If you seek a feature-rich, multimedia-capable system for your growing business, the $2816 Dell Dimension XPS T500 may give you a good excuse to splurge. The thin, gray midtower has what your office needs--plus a little extra for after-hours fun. The XPS T500, with its fast new Pentium III-500 CPU, earned a PC WorldBench score of 234, just a couple of ticks behind the number two Micron Millennia 500 Max. Color-coded, labeled, and icon-marked ports, plus a good assortment of peripheral manuals and an illustrated foldout setup guide, make getting up and running a snap. And the XPS T500's easy-open, sturdy case and tidy interior make accessing RAM a snap when you're ready to add more. The sturdy Dell QuietKey keyboard proved comfortable and solid. The system includes a CineMaster hardware DVD decoder card with a 4.8X DVD-ROM drive for better video playback, and the giant 22GB hard disk and Iomega Zip drive should give even a pack rat plenty of elbowroom. And teamed with the Turtle Beach Montego II PCI Audio sound card, the Altec Lansing ACS295 speaker-subwoofer system delivers realistic sound. You can call Dell around the clock for technical assistance, and in our surveys PC World readers consistently rate the company's office PCs as reliable.
