Top 10 Power PCs
New models and a big price drop shake up the top of the chart.
PC World Staff
New models and a big price drop shake up the top of the power chart. Due to a makeover of Micron's Millennia Max line, last month's number one is no longer available. Helped by a $310 price plunge, Dell's Dimension XPS-B1000r Special Edition leaps from number five up to the top spot. New PCs from Dell, Sys, and Xi occupy the next three slots. Fueled by AMD's hot 1000-MHz Athlon-1000, both the Sys and the Xi turned in notable performances.
Also of Note
Tangent didn't hold much back with its Medallion ProDV 1-GHz PC. It comes with a 46GB hard drive, a FireWire card with two ports, and 256MB of SDRAM. An excellent PC WorldBench 2000 score of 184 wasn't enough to offset the high $3295 cost, so it missed the chart.
