![]() SYS Technologies SYS PowerHouse 3066 offers high performance and an excellent software portfolio, all for a good price. |
Among the many extras on the SYS PowerHouse 3066 are front-mounted FireWire IEEE-1394, Compact Flash, and SmartMedia reader ports. Another four USB2 ports reside on the rear. The system we tested had 1GB of PC2100 DDR SDRAM (DDR266) 266MHz RAM. Fully populated, the system can handle a total of 4GB RAM.
The SYS PowerHouse 3066 is built around a 3.06GHz Intel Pentium 4 processor mounted on an ASUSTeK P4G8X Deluxe motherboard that uses the Intel E7205 (Granite Bay) chipset. Input is from a Logitech cordless optical mouse and keyboard combination.
As weve also come to expect from SYS Technology, the PowerHouse 3066 arrived with a great portfolio of software: WordPerfect Office 2002 (including the Paradox 10 database), CyberMaxs PowerDVD XP, Nero Burning ROM, and Farstone Technologys RestoreIT (partition restoration software), among other titles. This is easily the best assortment of high-quality software included with any of the systems reviewed here.
Aside from all the great extras found in this $2,995 system, it turned in excellent performance figures on all our benchmark tests. Highly Recommended.
