WHAT'S HOT: Equipped with a 600-MHz AMD Athlon chip and Windows NT, the Performance 600A racks up a score of 345 on our PC WorldBench 98 test suite, easily outdistancing comparable Pentium III-600 PCs. Two 13.6GB hard drives connect to a Promise UltraDMA 66 PCI card in a RAID configuration to speed up some disk-intensive operations. If you plug two monitors into the Matrox Millennium G400 DH (dual-head) video card, you'll be able to view your desktop across both displays.
WHAT'S NOT: Faded colors and fuzzy text from the Sys Technology SPM17 MS display sandbag the system's graphics potential. One laser-printed setup sheet and a pair of component manuals for the CD-ROM drive and monitor constitute the minimal hardware documentation.
WHAT ELSE: You need a screwdriver to get inside the 600A's all-metal case, but its side panel detaches quickly and slides back on easily--the fit and finish are impressive. The soft-touch keyboard comes with a removable wrist rest.
BEST USE: With a better monitor (or two), the Sys would make a killer 2D graphics workstation: You could keep work on one monitor and tools on the other.
