With the newest configurations of the XPS M1710, Dell adds Intel's Core 2 Duo processor to its market-leading and CNET Editors' Choice-winning gaming machine. (Also new with this iteration is a built-in Draft 802.11n wireless adapter; some versions of the XPS M1710 will ship with a compatible 802.11n router.) The new processor brings remarkable application speed to the already-powerful XPS M1710 and extends its battery life--both good things. But with the same graphics card as its predecessor, this new version of the XPS M1710 doesn't realize any gains in gaming performance.
