Top 20 Power Desktops

500-MHz PIIIs from Gateway and Dell are Best Buys, but Micron's Millennia Max 500 edges past both with the first 6X DVD-ROM drive we've seen.

We got our hands on six new power systems--from four manufacturers--equipped with Intel's brand-spanking-new Pentium III processor. All of them qualified to make this month's chart, and none would have ranked below 11th place. (Those from the same manufacturer that had virtually identical configurations didn't receive separate spots on the chart, however; see individual capsule reviews for details.) Micron's number two finisher, the Millennia 500 Max, leads the PIII-500 pack, but it differs only slightly from the 500-MHz entries provided by Gateway and Dell, which also earn Best Buys. The Millennia Max does, however, flaunt the first 6X DVD-ROM drive we've seen on the Top 20 chart.
