It's a party of III this month--Pentium III, that is. Led by the Dell OptiPlex GX1p 500, PIII-500 systems sweep the five Best Buy slots for the first time. Seven other PIII-500 PCs win Top 20 spots, as do a PIII-450 system (another newcomer from Dell), six Pentium II-450s, and one grizzled PII-400. The new OptiPlex corporate workstation has management features, an easy-open case, and Dell's strong service and reliability record. Another debutant, HP's Brio BAx PIII-500, crashes the chart at number 18, despite a cramped interior and so-so support policies. The new Toshiba Equium 7100M PII-450 fell just short; this manageable midsize tower features PC Card slots and a Zip drive, but is rather poky.
