The Radical Value™ iX is our most affordable Intel gaming PC.  It has a fast second generation Intel Core i5 (or i7) quad-core CPU, and high performance nVIDIA GeForce or AMD Radeon graphics for the latest games.  You get the Intel P67 Express chipset, supporting your choice of either S.L.I. or CrossFireX multi-graphics card technologies.  Official support for running your choice of either SLI or CrossFireX in one system – two competing technologies – is a feature of only the best gaming PCs, and KillaRad gives it to you.  The new Intel Core processors feature a built-in DDR3 memory controller, providing more bandwidth and faster access over the older Core 2 Quads.  You can choose a Core i7 2600 processor with HyperThreading technology, which allows each of the four cores in the i7 to operate like two cores.  The result is even more capability with a virtual eight core processor.  For system memory you get dual channel DDR3 memory, with a spacious four Gigs.

The new Core i5 and i7 processors feature Intel Turbo Boost 2.0 Technology.  In certain circumstances the processor can dynamically turn off some of its cores and run the remaining cores at higher frequencies, resulting in better performance.  You could call it auto-overclocking.

For graphics, the default choice starts you off with nVIDIA's best value in high performance single GPU cards, the GeForce GTX 560, with one GigaByte of RAM.  This is a large amount of dedicated memory on the graphics card, which allows for higher resolutions, multiple monitors, and better graphic effects.  You have a number of options for dual GPUs for exceptional gaming performance.

Whether you choose nVIDIA or AMD graphics, you're ready to run DirectX 10 and DirectX 11 games at peak fidelity.  Enjoy hit games such as Skyrim, Modern Warfare 3, Battlefield 3, Crysis 2, World of Warcraft: Cataclysm, StarCraft 2, Call of Duty: Black Ops, Borderlands, Fallout 3, Need for Speed: The Run, and id Software's Rage.

By default the Radical Value iX includes Windows 7 Home Premium, bringing you evolved Windows operating system technology with new enhancements designed to improve how you use your computer.  It builds on Windows Vista's newer features like built-in quick system-wide searching right on the Start Menu, and the slick Aero 3D interface.  With Windows Media Center which is included, you can add a TV tuner card and a remote control to turn your PC into a DVR – Perfect for a home-office, bedroom, or a college dorm when paired with a large 23 to 27-inch flat-screen monitor.  Windows 7 has a new feature where you can easily shrink a video file down so it will fit on a portable media player such as the Microsoft Zune HD or a Windows Phone.  Windows 7 takes advantage of an nVIDIA or AMD graphics card to speed up this process like nothing else before, allowing you to take videos with you on the go much more simply.
