Steep discounts abound on this month's power chart, as five systems drop $170 or more. Surprisingly enough, Hewlett-Packard makes the biggest cut, slashing $490 off the price of its corporate Vectra VL Series 8 HE; this Pentium II-450 system replaces the PII-400 edition that made the chart last month. In fact, only three PII-400s remain on the power chart, but they're all especially good values. Two are Best Buys, and one of these, Dell's Optiplex GX 1400, rises to become the first corporate-centric system to occupy the number one spot. Another managed PC, Gateway's new E-4200 450, also cracks the top five. It's somewhat slow compared to similarly equipped PCs, but it's cheap for its processor class.
