Pentium II-450s: Power Meets Budget

Introducing iDot.com's $1999 Entrepreneur BX450, the first PII-450 to crack our budget chart.

  

This month marks the first time that a PC equipped with Intel's fastest processor, the Pentium II-450, graces the Top 20 Budget Desktops chart. This feat, accomplished by the $1998 IDot.com Entrepreneur BX450, is even more impressive considering that we introduced Pentium II-450 PCs into the Top 20 Power Desktops chart just two months ago, and that a number of other vendors' similarly configured PII-450 systems failed to make the charts at all. The new year also signals a shift in our power chart. Machines based on Intel's latest CPU now occupy 13 of the 20 slots; PCs with PII-400s make up the difference.

We've revamped other parts of the Top 100. Last month we featured color printers; this month we go monochrome. And check out our expanded modem coverage in this month's roundup, " V.90 Modems: The End of the Line," which has details on our new V.90 test suite.
