Micron Millennia 400
FamilyPC Recommended Score: 88
By Steve Apiki
At $2249, the Micron Millennia 400 is, by a wide margin, the least expensive 400-MHz family multimedia system we've tested, and the first to provide top-of-the-line performance at a price you'd normally expect to pay for a less powerful midrange PC.
The Millennia 400 is built around a high-end 400-MHz Intel Pentium II processor, a 440BX chipset, and 512KB of secondary cache to improve the speed of productivity applications. Micron also outfits the Millennia with 64MB of system memory and a fast 3-D-accelerated AGP graphics card (a Diamond Viper 330 with an nVidia Riva 128 chipset).
The Millennia 400 finished third overall among the systems we've tested to date, edged only by more expensive 400-MHz systems from Dell and NEC.
There are few compromises for the low price. The two most notable hardware trade-offs are the comparatively small 6.4GB hard drive and middle-of-the-road Advent speakers. The Millennia 400's 17-inch monitor and other multimedia components are very good, including a DVD-II ROM drive, hardware MPEG decoder, and PCI sound card.
Micron includes a good basic software bundle (10 titles, mostly from Microsoft, including Word and some good games) to get your family off on the right foot. If you're into games, photo or video editing, or other demanding applications, the Millennia 400 is the way to go.
Millennia 400, 400-MHz Pentium II, 64MB SDRAM, 6.4GB hard drive, 17-inch monitor, 56-kbps fax modem (x2), DVD-II ROM drive with hardware MPEG.
