Reviews

  • Intel Core i7-965 Extreme Edition

    While Core i7 presents a new performance paradigm, the heinously gluttonous Australian prices will need to come down before it's accepted by the mainstream.

  • Acer Aspire M3200

    Despite the quad-core processor and 4GB RAM, the M3200 is still a budget PC. If you're a bit strapped for cash and looking for a general purpose desktop, this might be the one for you.

  • AMD Phenom X4 9850

    From a do-it-yourself perspective, we're mostly unimpressed with AMD's new 2.5GHz Phenom X4 9850 quad-core desktop processor.

  • ATI Radeon HD 3870 X2

    The ATI Radeon HD 3870 X2 shows promise, but we would still wait until AMD works out the kinks before handing over your hard earned.

  • ATI Radeon HD 3850

    ATI's Radeon HD 3850 delivers good performance at a great price — but is now outclassed by NVIDIA's 9600GT.

  • Asus GeForce EN8800GT (512MB)

    Asus and Nvidia have teamed up for a compelling midrange 3D graphics card with this EN8800 GT. If you can find this card for a good price, we recommend it, especially if you intend to use two of them.

  • Apple Mac Pro (2x 2.8GHz Quad Core Xeon, 2GB RAM)

    The Mac Pro is still near the pinnacle of workstation machines, elegantly fusing style, power and features.

  • Apple Mac Pro

    Apple's Mac Pro has design innovations that we hope will cross over to other systems. Its performance is as strong as you'd expect for a system in its class, and it's priced right, too. You might need more flexibility in your config options, especially for 3D design, but otherwise, the Mac Pro is as solid a professional-class PC as we've seen.
