Three new systems make the midrange chart this month. The new number one, Micro Express's inexpensive Athlon-550-equipped MicroFlex-550B is faster than many machines on our power chart. Like IBM's PC 300GL it uses the new PC-133 SDRAM. The PC 300GL--the first PC we've tested to use the Via chip set--debuts in eighth place. NEC's new PowerMate ES5250-500k, a PIII-500 with Intel's BX chip set closes out the chart at number ten.
