Top 100: Pentium 4 Steps Up a Notch

PCs with the Northwood version of the P4 CPU--Intel's latest--debut on our charts.

For this month's reviews of systems and peripherals, click the links below.

This month marks the debut of the first computers we've tested that use Intel's latest version of the Pentium 4 CPU. Code-named Northwood, the processor doubles the amount of on-chip level 2 cache and, Intel says, runs at a lower temperature than the first-generation P4. Dell and MicronPC supplied two of the four Northwood-based systems appearing on our Top 15 Home PCs and Top 15 Office PCs charts. Also, home and office versions of Gateway's 700XL make our respective power charts; the home model includes video editing software that complements the system's DVD-RAM/R drive, which allows you to record videos to DVD.
