The Xi Mtower 64 AGE–SLI comes with Windows XP Home, a mouse, a keyboard and a 17” LCD monitor—everything you need to start gaming right away.
The downside to this computer is it only comes with CD ROM, every other computer in this review come with at least a CD burner—most come with a DVD burner.
Processor:
This Xi comes with a 2.6 GHz Anthlon 64 processor with a 2000 MHz system bus speed. This processor is duel core so it will handle multiple programs at one time without hindering performance.
Memory:
Like most gaming PCs in this price range, the Xi Mtower 64 AGE–SLI comes with 1GB of memory and only an 80 GB hard drive. Of all the computers in this review, this one has the smallest hard drive.
Video/Audio:
The NVIDIA GeForce 7300GT graphics card will perform nicely, even while running games with demanding graphics. The audio is a common multi–channel onboard.
I/O Device:
The package includes Windows XP Home edition, a 2–button optical wheel mouse, a 17” LCD monitor and a keyboard.
As mentioned previously, the tower only has a CD drive. We would consider upgrading to at least a DVD ROM.
Value/Price:
This computer starts at $1,699 and even with the added DVD burner and speakers, will be under $2000. However, other manufactures still offer a better package for the price.
Support/Warranty:
Xi offers a 1–year parts and labor warranty.
You can contact customer support via email or phone.
Summary:
This is a decent system, but really doesn’t have any standout features. You’ll get more gaming computer for your money by choosing a higher–ranking PC.
