The ABS Ultimate X9 will appeal to adventurous buyers who are looking for maximum performance at all costs. It screamed to an incredible score of 181 in our WorldBench 5 tests, shattering our previous record score of 142 posted by the Xi MTower 64 AGL-SLI, which uses a 2.6-GHz Athlon 64 FX-60. The Ultimate X9's smashing speed is the result of pushing Intel's latest processor to the max: ABS took an Intel Core 2 Extreme X6800 processor, gave it a high-tech cooling system, and overclocked it from the stock speed of 2.93 GHz to 3.55 GHz.
