The Bottom Line The high-end ProMagix PCX is overkill for most homes and offices, but graphic artists, video hobbyists, and gamers will like what they find under the hood. Unlike your typical ho-hum business-class system, MPC's pricey but outstanding ClientPro 545 is a good choice for video and graphics pros. With AMD's new 939-pin Athlon 64 FX-53 processor, the Poly 939VF-FX53 boasts leading desktop performance, but gamers will want to opt for a more current graphics card. Whether it's the world's fastest PC is up for debate, but the Power Mac G5 delivers top-notch performance for creative pros and power users.
