This is one of our favourite times of the year. The staff at the RMIT IT Test Lab gets to play with the ultimate in multimedia PCs (OK, we love them because they're great for games!). Last year we looked at a range of PCs with 600MHz processors. This time around we are testing machines that come with 1.1GHz processors from AMD. The fastest Intel processor we tested was an Intel Pentium III 933. We also received an Apple Power Mac G4 with two 500MHz processors. All the PCs shipped with 128MB of RAM, 20GB or larger hard disk drives and 17 or 19in displays. We asked for all the PCs to have Windows 2000 Professional preinstalled but some came with Windows Millennium Edition.
