ABS Ultimate M5-64 Review

by Mick Lockey

- By the look of it, the Ultimate M5-64 is a rather staid gaming system. Our test model came in a large, gray, generic Antec tower case with a clear side window and green interior lights--so last year. One look inside, however, tells you this PC is anything but dull. Equipped with an AMD 2.2-GHz Athlon 3400+ processor and a gigabyte of DDR400 memory, this machine achieved a score of 142 running PC WorldBench 4, placing it among an elite group of current top performers. The price is right, too, as long as you're happy with a 19-inch CRT monitor. With high-end graphics, SATA drives, and custom interior cabling, the cost is a relatively modest $2249.
