Dell XPS 210 Upgrade Options
Standard configuration relative to XPS 210 with 2GB RAM and ATI Radeon X1300 Pro graphics card. Using the windows experience index (under Vista) as benchmark, the standard scores for the system are 5.3, 5.5, 4.7, 4.2, 5.7 witout upgrades.

Current conclusion is that the installed Radeon X1300 graphics card provides a nice performance when limited by the tight casing and the PSU capacity of 275W. Although some low end cards with DirectX-10 capability and passive cooling are available tested cards were outformed by the older X1300 card. The upgrade to faster RAM offers a relatively minor improvement (besides from benefit if adding more RAM in general).
