• 3DMark and Cinebench are indicators of the machines graphics capabilities. We  also use Sandra Pro to give some specific figures on processor, memory and drive  performance. Usability issues include location (and type) of ports and buttons  as well as additional software utilities. Construction elements of interest are  case material quality and ease of opening for maintenance and upgrades. Sound  quality is also considered along with the software included with the  machine.

• Windows Vista scores the OptiPlex at 3.4 overall, but given that this machine is  really intended for an office environment, the relatively low games graphics  score and even the Windows graphics score is relatively unimportant. (The  overall score given by Windows is simply the lowest component score.) The  OptiPlex scored 5.5 for CPU performance, 5.9 for RAM, 3.7 for standard graphics,  3.4 for games graphics and 5.5 for HDD performance.
