What is different between . . .

XPS 410, Dimension 9200 & Precision 590? Same C2D processor, same HDs & same memory.Precision 590 tells what motherboard it contains. Anyone know what the actual differences are when they are configured the same?

    I haven't heard of a 590, the 390 is the closest equivalent to the 9200/410, the 490 can accept 2 cpu's and the 690 is akin to the 710 in that is is available with a 750 or 1000 watt psu.

    I don't know about the 590, but the XPS 410 and the Dimension 9200 are essntially the same system. The XPS 410 is sold thru the Home site, and the 9200 is typically sold thru the Business site.
     
    Same machine, different options sometimes.

    If you mean PWS 390 then they are very similar but the graphics options are vastly different between them all.  The PWS 390 only offers factory Pro level opengl cards not good for gaming.
    Intel P965 chipset is in the XPS 410/9200 but the PWS 390 has Intel 975x and uses ECC RAM.

    965 or 975? If you figure the PWS 390 comes standard with a (3) year warranty the price difference is not much. Do you think the PWS line is built to higher standards? The video card the PWS ships with could be upgraded to something more suitable for gaming.
