Falcon Northwest Mach V With Core 2 Extreme Desktop PC
Joel Santo Domingo over PC Mag.com reviews the highly desirable but somewhat out-of-reach feature-rich Falcon Northwest Mach V with Core 2 Extreme Desktop PC. 'After getting my hands on and testing the shiny new Falcon Northwest Mach V ($6,995 direct, $8,095 with 20-inch widescreen LCD monitor) powered by Intel's cutting-edge Core 2 Extreme (aka Conroe) processor, all I could say was, "Wow." This rig smokes my current set of benchmark tests, significantly raising the bar for any system that comes after it. If this performance is any indication of what to expect from the average Core 2 CPU, AMD should be very worried. Besides its phenomenal processor, the Mach V test machine came equipped with a full 2GB of system RAM, two 150GB, 10,000-rpm SATA drives in a RAID 0 array, and two ATI X1900 3D cards linked in a CrossFire configuration.'
