PALICOMP WIN PC ADVISOR AWARD

With Top Score In Chart!! WorldBench6 = 123

With the fastest processor in the chart under the hood, it’s little wonder that Palicomp’s Excalibur tops our WorldBench 6 real-world speed tests. Intel’s E8500 enables this PC to edge ahead of the competition when it comes to everyday applications.  

The Excalibur also comes with by far the most storage, with its 500GB SATA hard drive doubling the capacities of the Arbico and Eclipse machines.

Graphics performance isn’t quite so exemplary, however. Despite the Palicomp’s GeForce 9600 GSO offering a generous 1GB of onboard memory, it’s a notably slower card than that used by the competition.

The Palicomp makes a brave attempt at playing games, but hardcore gamers would do better to look elsewhere – sacrificing a little CPU speed in return for faster graphics, perhaps. And although the ASRock motherboard offers scaleable link interface (SLI) for adding a second graphics card, swapping in a single decent card will prove more effective than using two sluggish ones.

The Hanton H-350WDB is a basic but tidy-looking 19in display with dual inputs. It offers a bright image with good contrast but, like many a glossy screen, it suffers from light reflections.

Look past the Palicomp’s untidy cabling and there’s plenty of room inside for upgrades, including a spare PCI Express slot and space for two more sticks of RAM.

Another thing the system case is good for concealing is the DVD drive, which lies behind a full-height front door. If you burn a lot of discs you may fi nd this inconvenient.

While graphics performance is mediocre, those who are looking for a decent budget PC for business use wil find that the Palicomp offers all the processing power they need.
