Micron Millennia Max 500

SUMMARY

PRO: Blazing speed, 6X DVD-ROM drive
CON: Still rather expensive despite huge price cut

If you crave speed, check out Micron's Millennia Max 500, still one of the fastest Win 98 systems on the chart. Micron slashed $368 from the price, and the feature-rich system comes with a 100MB Iomega Zip drive; a crisp, bright 19-inch monitor; and one of the few 6X DVD-ROM drives we've seen. However, PC World subscribers have rated Micron's support quality as just Fair.

The Max 500's multimedia capabilities impressed us. Our unit's Diamond Viper V550 graphics card--although no longer listed on our Top 10 Graphics Boards chart--is still a fine performer. The Monsoon MM1000's combination of a massive subwoofer and satellite speakers produces a rich, full range of tones.

Micron provides comprehensive documentation with the Max 500, as well as solid warranties that cover labor and most parts for three years (and main RAM and CPU for five years).
