Quantex QP6/400 M-4x
Any serious gamer seeking lots of muscle at an affordable price should
take a good look at the QP6/400 M. Its Pentium II-400 CPU can't match the
superlative WorldBench scores of 450-MHz systems, but it comes close. Fast-paced
games still look great--the STB Nitro graphics card combined with the Diamond
Voodoo 2 (3Dfx) PCI card helped the QP6/400 M-4x post the second-highest graphics
scores of all the systems we tested, and its ACS-90 speakers provide great
sound. Although there's only one free PCI slot for upgrades, the three free
external drive bays offer plenty of room for adding a tape backup and other
drives. Bundled titles include the games Heavy Gear and Battle Zone in addition
to the software bundled with the Quantex QP6/350 4-Mx. The system comes with
a three-year parts warranty and a one-year labor warranty, as well as round-the-clock
support. In our recent Reliability and Service survey, Quantex's home systems
received an Average reliability rating and a Good service score.
