ABS Conquest GL
WHAT'S HOT: Colors on the 19-inch ADI E66 monitor looked rich, while text appeared clean, blurring only slightly at the top resolution of 1600 by 1200. Multimedia accessories include a strong three-speaker Cambridge SoundWorks Digital set and a 16X DVD-ROM drive. In case anything goes wrong, ABS offers a lifetime labor warranty to complement its three-year parts coverage.
WHAT'S NOT: Customer support is not stellar: ABS's tech support quality rates only Fair in our anonymous service calls.
WHAT ELSE: The Conquest GL earned a score of 160 on PC WorldBench 2000--about equal to the average performance of similarly equipped Athlon-1000 systems running Windows Me. Microsoft's Internet Keyboard allows smooth, quiet typing and provides ten hot-keys for multimedia and Internet access. Corel's WordPerfect Office 2000 and a thorough system manual come bundled. Color-coded ports and a color instruction poster make setup a snap. Two open PCI slots and four open drive bays (three externally accessible) are available for expansion, with some wires cluttering the otherwise spacious interior. The system has both a modem and a network adapter.
BEST USE: An impressive competitor for the money, ABS's Conquest GL would make a solid small-office system for buyers on a tight budget.
