New Power System Sets Performance Record
Xi's MTower 64 AGL-SLI is the fastest PC we've ever clocked, but all three newcomers to the chart have a distinctive touch.Narasu Rebbapragada
Aeoncraft's Aeon-8010 is a speed demon with a funky design and upgrade limitations.
Two power systems and one value model join our chart this month. Xi's MTower 64 AGL-SLI achieved the highest-ever WorldBench 5 mark and Unreal Tournament 2003 graphics scores. Audiophiles will like that it comes with Creative's Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeMusic card. The other newcomer to the power list is the uniquely designed Aeon-8010 from Aeoncraft, IBuyPower's luxury brand. Its WorldBench 5 performance was second only to that of the MTower.
On the value side, Dell's Dimension E310 lands in the number five spot. This computer comes with an interesting $99 data-protection feature called DataSafe, which combines software backup imaging and RAID 1 mirroring to safeguard your data.
