Premio Apollo T440B

Premio Apollo T440B

WHAT'S HOT: The 6X DVD-ROM drive may be a bit slower than others, but it's assisted by a DXR3 MPEG decoder card, so it plays videos flawlessly. Images looked brilliant on the Premio's 19-inch TE988E monitor.

WHAT'S NOT: This PIII-700 system scored a 140 on our PC WorldBench 2000 tests--lower than some PIII-600s that we've tested. Cables clutter the interior.

WHAT ELSE: To open the Apollo T440B, you must remove two screws; but the sturdy side panel slides on and off with ease. Inside, you'll find five open drive bays and two free slots, one of them ISA. The machine has an 18.2GB SCSI hard drive connected to an expansion card that occupies one of the PCI slots. In addition, the system ships with a hefty manual containing loads of troubleshooting and general computing information.

BEST USE: With its good-size SCSI drive, this Apollo would work well for people in multimedia creation, especially video.
