The new GMA 900 graphics chip is a vast improvement over the previous integrated video chip, Intel Extreme Graphics 2 (see the performance section for our test results).

Even more exciting: because the 915G Express chipset supports the new PCI Express expansion cards, you can transform the Dimension 4700 from a utilitarian workaday computer into a powerful PC for gaming, home entertainment, or other advanced functions. All of these new parts offer improved performance over that of their predecessors, and considering that Dell bundles the Dimension 4700 with a generous 160GB hard drive and a quality, 17-inch LCD monitor, you get a lot of PC for only $1,500.

Built on Intel's new mainstream 915G Express chipset, our Dimension 4700 review unit featured an Intel Pentium 4 530 CPU (clocked at 3.0GHz), 512MB of new DDR2 PC3200 system memory, and Intel's new integrated graphics solution-dubbed Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 900. The Dell Dimension 4700 comes with almost all of the basic features you'd want in a basic home or office desktop computer. On the front panel, are a headphone jack and an additional pair of USB 2.0 ports, providing easy access and plenty of room for connecting devices such as your digital camera or MP3 player.

You'll find an Ethernet jack that supports both 10/100 and Gigabit connections, plus audio jacks to connect up to a 7.1-speaker system (although you'll need to switch the function of the microphone jack in the BIOS to activate an additional outgoing channel). Along with standard legacy ports on the rear panel, there are also six USB 2.0 ports. On the outside, optical drives fill both of the front-accessible 5.25-inch drive bays, and although there's an empty 3.5-inch bay, the front panel is designed to accept a standard floppy drive but not a media-card reader. Too bad the molded front-accessible 3.5-inch drive bay won't accommodate a media-card reader. Home users who might not regularly crack the case open won't care too much, but this cumbersome process won't go over well in a small-business environment if-for the purposes of security, adding more storage space, or easy maintenance-quick removal is a necessity. The two 3.5-inch drive cages are positioned so that the drives sit upright and are stacked on top of each other, so you can't simply slide the drives out you need to unscrew and remove each cage entirely. For example, the placement of the hard drive is less than convenient. With a minitower case, however, you'll find the interior a bit cramped. If you plan to get your hands inside the box, you'll appreciate the rear-panel latch that lets you remove the side panel faster than you can with any other system. Fortunately, since it measures 15 by 7 by 17 inches (H, W, D), this inconspicuous computer lends itself to easy placement under a desk. Although it would be too harsh to call the case ugly, the bland black-and-gray design that we've seen for the past few years doesn't exactly cry out to be placed at the center of attention. The Dell Dimension 4700 uses the same minitower chassis as the Dimension 4600, Dell's mainstream home PC.

For most mainstream users, however, the Dimension 4700 is an attractive proposition for basic home and business tasks. Gamers and power users looking for a midrange bargain will want to add a graphics card after purchase our test system relied on Intel's new integrated Graphics Media Accelerator 900 chip, and Dell offers but one graphics card, ATI's low-end Radeon X300 SE.
