Best Overall: Gateway 2000's G6-333 has everything you could ask for--unbeatable speed, cutting-edge technology, and first-rate usability. It outpaced every other machine in this roundup, and comes with an eye-popping 14GB hard drive, a DVD drive, and a Zip drive. You also get a raft of software.
Gateway 2000's G6-333 is a case in point. The machine's performance was stunning--almost across the board. It was fastest in Windows application tests, aided by fiery-fast disk performance from IBM's DTTA 371400 hard drive. Video performance in our tests was also speedy, though less so when running graphics applications.
In line with this performance, the G6-333's credentials are impeccable. Its hard drive warehouses 14GB, by far the largest of the lot. There's also a DVD drive, a Zip drive, two USB ports, a fax modem, and a superb Boston Acoustics audio system with a subwoofer. When your needs call for a top-of-the-line business box, the G6-333's got your name on it.
