The tower computer is designed to run affordable components but is also made for headroom as gamers look to improve their systems; every model has a mainboard capable of dual video cards (either AMD's CrossFire or NVIDIA's SLI) as well as a 750-watt power supp... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/02/26/dell.xps.630/ Tue, 26 Feb 2008 13:00:00 GMT
