The Amax Power 660+ offers a nice compromise between cost and performance that will appeal to the serious gamer or power user who can't quite afford a cutting-edge system. Our $3119 Power 660+ review unit came with a 3.6-GHz Pentium 4 660 CPU, 1GB of DDR2-533 SDRAM, an Asus EN6800Ultra graphics card (based on nVidia's GeForce 6800 Ultra graphics chip), and two 200GB hard drives in a striped RAID 0 array. The system produced a very respectable but not chart-topping score of 100 on PC WorldBench 5. More important to gamers, the Power 660 demonstrated the ability to comfortably run 3D programs: Graphics tests on Return to Castle Wolfenstein at 1280-by-1024 resolution returned a frame rate score of 143, the ninth fastest result we've seen. For Unreal Tournament at the same resolution, it achieved 317 frames per second, the eleventh best yet.. Head over to PCWorld.com to learn more about this desktop PC system from Amax.
