If you're looking for affordable dual-core gaming and you like vivid, distinctive styling, take a look at CyberPower's Gamer Ultra 8500SE. This $1499 (as of 6/2/06) system was tops in our gaming tests of six dual-core value PCs. The 8500SE used a 2.2-GHz Athlon 64 X2 4200+ and 1GB of RAM to achieve a WorldBench 5 score of 105, just 5 percent lower than the mark of 110 from the best performer of the group, Polywell's MiniBox 939NP-4200. The 8500SE's multitasking test results were impressive too, as it finished in first place.
