Our review model came with an AMD E-450 processor, which explains the system's performance scores--though the dual-core E-450 packs decent integrated HD graphics, this processor is designed for small laptops and netbooks. The C325 also has 4GB of RAM, 500GB of hard-drive space, and built-in 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi, and it runs the 64-bit version of Windows 7 Home Premium.

The C325's performance is fairly weak. On PCWorld's , this all-in-one posted a measly score of 45, which means that it's about 55 percent slower than our testing model. Of course, our testing model has a desktop-class processor (an Intel Core i5-2500K), but that's no excuse--45 is one of the lowest WorldBench 7 scores we've seen.

Graphics performance on the C325 is nearly nonexistent, too. The integrated AMD Radeon HD 6320 graphics hardware is okay for casual multimedia consumption, but not much else. In PCWorld's Dirt 3 graphics tests, the C325 managed an unplayable frame rate of 16.2 frames per second (medium quality, 1024 by 768 pixels). In other words, the C325 is a gaming machine only if you're a Minesweeper aficionado.
