ProGen Polaris 266 W95 Norton, Patrick ÿ 12/02/97 PC Magazine Page 160 (COPYRIGHT 1997 Ziff-Davis Publishing Company) Copyright 1997 Information Access Company. All rights reserved. ÿ Pentium II/266, 6.7GB hard disk, 17-inch monitor, SDRAM. Business Winstone 98 score: 20.4. $2,700 street. With a competitive Business Winstone 98 score, a DVD drive, an MPEG-2 decoder and a loud pair of MLI speakers with a subwoofer, ProGen Systems' Polaris 266 W95 more than lives up to its claim to be a professional multimedia PC. This LX/AGP-equipped system's attractive price further sweetens the deal. The Polaris's test results were mostly average. It had an above-average Business Graphics WinMark 98 score, thanks to its Matrox Millennium II graphics board, but it had a poor 3D WinMark 98 result. While its Pioneer DVD -101 DVD drive and Sigma Design RealMagic Hollywood MPEG-2 decoder steal the show, the system also includes a GVC Media Technology SP 802 PCI audio card and an Archtek Smartlink K56flex modem. All these features come at the cost of expansion (there is only one free PCI slot). The Polaris includes toll-free technical support, but only on weekdays and during business hours. The system also has a three-year-parts, one-year-labor warranty, with on-site service during the first year. If you're looking for strong 2-D performance and a system that's DVD -ready, the ProGen Polaris 266 W95 delivers.
