This time around, choosing our Best Buy PC has proved tougher than usual.

However, we’ve plumped for Arbico’s CD 4850. The seemingly unbeatable Core 2 Duo E8500 from Intel powers this system to an impressive WorldBench 6 score of 126 points – the same level of general office performance you’d get from the best of our power PCs and significantly faster than some contenders with the same processor.

The Arbico CD 4850's graphics are provided by ATI’s new Radeon HD 4850, which delivers a significant boost in performance over the graphic cards we saw last time, such as nVidia’s GeForce 8800 GT, without an increase in overall system price.

The Arbico CD 4850 has eight USB ports and, with a massive 750GB hard drive, you’ll have plenty of room for a large media collection.

With an almost identical specification – even the Logitech S220 speakers are the same model – the runner-up delivers identical performance to the Arbico CD 4850. However, what clinched it for us is Arbico’s inclusion of a Creative Audigy sound card. There can be only one winner and this is the result of our photo finish.

The LG W2242S monitor supplied with the Arbico CD 4850 offers a good contrast ratio. The Arbico’s CD 4850 is a well-balanced PC with excellent performance.

Crossfire, the dual-graphics card technology from AMD’s graphics arm, ATI, hasn’t had the best of times in recent years. Despite its complete monopoly on Intel’s chipsets (SLI only works on Nvidia’s chipsets) and AMD working furiously on the drivers to allow four graphics cards to work together, SLI has had the biggest market share by far.

The reason is that until the Radeon HD 4800 series of graphics cards, AMD’s performance has lagged behind Nvidia’s. AMD has made big strides though and today a Radeon HD 4850 beats an Nvidia Geforce 9800GTX in most scenarios and a Radeon HD 4870 competes comfortably with the Nvidia Geforce GTX 260, the slightly less powerful of the two wonder cards in Nvidia’s new GTX 200 series.

Arbico has put two Radeon HD 4870s in this PC, each with 512MB of GDDR5 Ram ticking over at a terrifically fast pace of 3.6GHz.

You need a fast CPU to keep such powerful graphics cards fed, so Arbico has fitted a Core 2 Quad Q9450 processor with 12MB L2 cache. By default, it runs at 2.66GHz, but Arbico has pushed the front side bus from 1,333MHz to 1,800MHz (with a 0.1V bump to 1.26V) so that the processor runs at 3.6GHz. Despite this big increase, the CPU temperature remained at 37°C after two days’ usage.

Other components include 4GB OCZ Ram clocked at 900MHz (synchronised with the FSB), a Creative X-Fi Xtreme Gamer sound card and a Gigabyte X48 motherboard that provides astounding connectivity, including eight USB ports, two Firewire, two Gigabit Ethernet ports and two spare x1 PCI Express slots, so you could add both a TV tuner and Wifi card.

Vista Home Premium comes installed on a Super Talent 64GB solid state drive (SSD), while a second 500GB hard drive is provided for extra storage.

Gaming on this PC is, for the most part, awesome. Arbico has bundled a 24in Samsung 245B monitor, with an all-important 1,920x1,200 pixel resolution. Games look fantastic. A 3Dmark06 score of 20,297 is superb, as is the PCmark05 score of 13,696 (11,523 in the CPU section) and at 1,920x1,200, World in Conflict played through at 57fps (frames per second) with high settings.

Crysis, on the other hand, didn’t suffer from such stutters and looked fantastic, producing 28.55fps on high settings.

A £2,000 PC might sound like a lot, but considering the high calibre case and components, its top-notch 24in monitor and the fact you would struggle to buy the separate components and save any money, it’s excellent value for money.

Arbico is no stranger to the top of our charts. And the firm has delivered yet another stand-out system this month: the Elite 4850, based on Intel’s Core 2 Duo E8500 processor.

This value-for-money chip powers PCs across all price categories and provides bags of performance. The Arbico Elite 4850’s processing power, extras and all-round quality set it apart from its more budget-conscious rivals.

The manufacturer has spurned the highly popular CoolerMaster Elite 330 case in favour of a GZ-X6 model from Gigabyte for the Arbico Elite 4850. It’s a basic-looking design, but it comes with a glossy black finish, optical drive bay covers and tool-free internal drive bays.

The Arbico Elite 4850's 512MB ATI Radeon HD 4850 graphics card provides plenty of power to keep even the latest games titles running smoothly.

A huge 750GB hard drive is provided as standard with the Arbico Elite 4850, so you’ll have plenty of room to install a decent games library, as well as a large multimedia collection. Rather than bundle the cheapest 22in monitor available with the Elite 4850, Arbico has opted for Samsung’s SyncMaster 223BW, which provides excellent image quality and stylish looks.

With five Cyber Acoustic speakers and a subwoofer, the Arbico Elite 4850 is well-equipped for gaming, music and film playback, and it comes with a Blu-ray reader that also supports the now legacy HD DVD format. DVD burn speeds are a little slower than those of rival PCs, but ‘only’ 16-speed DVD-R doesn’t represent a huge sacrifice in order to enjoy high-definition (HD) movies.

The Arbico Elite 4850 is an excellent all-round system that justifies the extra money.

Arbico’s PCs are generally top performers, and the 8440 is no exception. Based on a Core 2 Duo E8400 processor, the Arbico Elite 8440 scores 118 WorldBench 6 points.

The new Elite 8440 model comes with an extra 2GB of RAM and one of the latest 22-speed DVD burners from Samsung. It’s great to see 4GB of RAM included at this price.

The Arbico Elite 8440 drops the popular CoolerMaster Elite 330 case in favour of the rather sleeker EZ-Cool H60 model, with concealed optical drive bays. Although the Arbico Elite 8440's WorldBench performance is good, gaming performance on this system is average.

The Arbico Elite 8440 is an impressive all-rounder that offers decent gaming performance.

Intel’s superb Core 2 Duo E8500 processor continues to deliver tremendous performance at an appealing price, dominating our desktop PC charts across three categories.
Arbico has put the chip to stunning use in the Elite 8070EX. This system outperforms the competition in the budget price range, then beats all of the power systems for good measure.

The Arbico Elite 8070EX’s utter dominance when handling general office and productivity applications doesn’t extend to games, but it’s no gaming slouch. With 4GB of DDR2-800 memory and an ATI Radeon HD 3870 512MB graphics card, it’s able to deliver a very playable experience.

This monitor has proved highly popular in our charts. The design is basic, but it delivers relatively good performance for the price and provides the Arbico Elite 8070EX with both analogue VGA and digital high-definition multimedia interface (HDMI) inputs.

Once again, Arbico has opted for the reliable Coolermaster Elite 330 casing. This is smart and practical, with just enough style to prevent it looking boring and plenty of space inside for expansion. In any case, the Arbico Elite 8070EX's supplied 465GB hard drive is ample to be getting on with.

Arbico is used to sitting at the top of the pile when it comes to performance, and this sub-£500 system is no exception. With a WorldBench 6 processing-speed score of 119, the Arbico Elite 8400 is a clear winner in this category, even beating a couple of the latest £751-£1,000 models.

The key to the Arbico Elite 8400's success is a 3GHz Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 processor, which offers exceptional performance for the price and is widely used throughout our charts.

The Arbico Elite 8400’s 1,024MB model of the NVIDIA 8600GT offers a distinct advantage over the 512MB version in other PCs in this chart.

The Arbico Elite 8400 boasts 2GB of RAM – a standard offering at this price point – while sound is limited to the motherboard’s onboard audio, played through the monitor’s rather tinny integrated speakers.

The Arbico Elite 8400 comes with Hannspree’s popular and distinctive-looking XM New York flat-panel. It’s a well-made product that’s high on style and low on flimsy plastic components. Image quality isn’t the greatest, but it’s much better than you generally get at this price.

Arbico has plumped for the popular CoolerMaster Elite 330 case with the Elite 8400, which has room for plenty of additional drives. The supplied 250GB SATA hard disk is plenty to be getting along with.

The Arbico Elite 8400 turns in noticeably stronger gaming performance, and it’s quicker at general computing tasks, managing five more WorldBench points than the second placed PC.

Arbico has a history of producing top-performing PCs, Arbico has wisely chosen Intel’s superb Core 2 Duo E8500 processor for its CD9800 PRO, which has been dominating our charts since it appeared on the market.

The Arbico CD9800 PRO is a revamped version of the CD8500 PRO, a Best Buy winner two months ago. The CoolerMaster Elite 330 case makes another welcome appearance, with its ample drive bay capacity and solid construction. Once again, the Gigabyte motherboard delivers excellent performance, and there are a generous number of USB 2.0 ports.

Perhaps the most significant upgrade to the Arbico CD9800 PRO is the inclusion of nVidia’s GeForce 9800 GTX graphics card. The 9800 GTX offers only small performance benefits over the 8800 GTS, but Arbico has managed to include the newer card without bumping up the price.

The 500GB hard drive is a notable improvement on the Arbico CD8500 PRO’s 320GB model. A 22in Cibox C2201 monitor completes the package. This is an adequate flat-panel.

A WorldBench 6 real-world speed score of 124 is excellent and the Arbico 9800Pro offers a longer warranty than most other PCs in the chart.

Not many PCs score a 10,014 in PCmark05 and stay quiet at the same time, but Arbico’s Elite 8480EX does it with aplomb.
A Core 2 Duo E8400 processor overclocked to 3.6GHz, from 3GHz, lends a hand to the great performance, scoring 9,149 in its PCmark05 section - a score more commonly seen from Intel’s mid-range Quad Core parts. In most cases this 3.6GHz dual-core will leave 3GHz models in its wake.
The CPU is kept quiet by an impressive Scythe Katana 2 heatsink, which also kept the temperature down to 28°C. The 8480EX’s 500GB hard drive is also quietened with a 5.25in anti-vibration caddy.
The front-side bus is increased from 1,333MHz to 1,600MHz to make the magic 3.6GHz number, courtesy of an excellent Gigabyte P35 motherboard. The system’s Bios is second to none, although like all Intel motherboards, it doesn’t support SLI (only ATI Crossfire), so you cannot add a second Nvidia graphics card if you wanted to.
Gamers playing on 20in and 22in monitors will find the 8480EX’s overclocked Nvidia Geforce 8800GTS graphics card enough to turn graphics settings up to high, reflected by a score of 14,702 in 3Dmark06.
Arbico has included an affordable Coolermaster Elite 330 case. It’s a little bland, while its Coolermaster 460W power supply is only rated at 70%+ efficiency, which is just behind modern 80%+-rated power supplies (but the 106W idle power draw isn’t too bad).
For £100 less than the 8480EX, you could buy Chillblast’s Fusion Sentinel desktop with a 3GHz quad core and has a whisperless performance. But it lacks a separate soundcard. The 8480EX is well built, powerful and has many premium components and extra ports.

When it comes to everyday performance, Arbico’s CD8520 XL trounces the competition at this price point, with a WorldBench real-world speed score of 123 – nothing else comes close. It’s also ahead of the field in our gaming tests. Its 512MB nVidia GeForce 8800 GT card even outperforms the newer (but cheaper) 9600 GT favoured by some of its competitors.

The Arbico CD8520 XL uses a 3.16GHz Intel Core 2Duo E8500 processor. Fitted with 4GB of fast PC6400 memory, the Arbico CD8520 XL is your quickest option.

Our Arbico CD8520 XL review model was shipped with a 20in Acer X201 monitor. With a native display resolution of 1,400x1,050 it’s the only monitor in this chart to have a 4:3 aspect ratio rather than the ubiquitous 16:10. This gives you 13 percent more pixels than the equivalent widescreen model. If you’d prefer a 16:10 display, however, Arbico will provide one at no extra cost.

The Creative Audigy SE 7.1 sound card is a welcome addition to the Arbico CD8520 XL.

The Arbico CD8520 XL is a very tidy system overall, with excellent performance and solid build quality. This is another top offering from Arbico.

Arbico’s HD8570 x 2 is a top performer across the board, using a 3.16GHz Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 and 4GB allocation of RAM to achieve an excellent WorldBench speed score of 123.

Gaming performance is also impressive, courtesy of the Arbico HD8570 X2’s ATI Radeon HD 3870 X2 graphics card. This component is in essence two graphics processors on a single board – a solution that results in a huge amount of processing power.

Audio performance is boosted by the Arbico HD8570 X2’s Creative X-Fi Extreme Audio sound card. There’s plenty of room in the case for additional optical or hard drives.

A total of 750GB of storage is provided by the Arbico HD8570 X2’s pair of hard drives, one with a capacity of 250GB and the other 500GB.

The Arbico HD8570 X2's 22in Samsung SM-2232BW is a former PC Advisor Gold award winner. It’s a good-looking monitor that’s perfect for the Arbico HD8570 x 2’s powerful graphics.

Overall, the Arbico HD8570 x 2 is a superb performer at a good price. It’s loaded with features and neatly constructed.

Arbico delivers yet another superb performer in the budget-priced PC category. With a WorldBench processing-speed score of 116, the CD8400 XL … even outscores two of the machines in our latest Power PCs chart.

The Arbico CD8400 XL's impressive performance is mainly down to the 3GHz Intel Core Duo E8400 used in this system.

Like previous low-cost systems from Arbico, the CD8400 XL is shipped with the 19in Hannspree XM New York display. This widescreen model has built-in speakers and intriguing looks that set it apart from the low-grade plastic-finished designs we’re used to seeing at this price point. It’s great to see a display with full height, tilt and swivel adjustments at this price level. It also provides pretty good image quality.

The Arbico CD8400 XL’s Coolermaster Elite 330 chassis is solidly built yet stylish. Some budget cases can feel flimsy and fragile, but this PC looks nothing like a bargain-basement system. In fact, Arbico uses the same case for its power PCs.

There’s a total of six free 3.5in bays and three free 5.25in bays, so you’re unlikely to run out of expansion room in the Arbico CD8400 XL. It’s also good to see the use of two sticks of branded Corsair XMS2 DDR2 memory ….

The Arbico CD8400 XL's GeForce 8600GT graphics card provides a good level of gaming performance.

…. this is a solidly built system that offers well-chosen components and excellent performance for the money. The two-year warranty is also pretty good.

Another prize-winner from Arbico, the CD8500 PRO edges ahead of the 2nd place PC thanks to its commendable WorldBench performance score of 126, low price and outstanding games results. Both systems use a 3.16GHz Core 2 Duo E8500, 4GB of DDR2 RAM and a GeForce 8800GTS to achieve WorldBench results that are about as fast as anything we’ve seen in any PC category.

The Arbico CD8500 PRO is fitted with a 320GB hard drive…

The Arbico CD8500 PRO is solidly constructed, in an expensive-looking silver-and-black Coolermaster Elite 330 case fitted with convenient thumb-screws for easy opening. Inside there’s a pair of 2GB Corsair XM2 DDR2 memory sticks and plenty of room for expansion, with three free PCI slots and two PCI-E 1x slots available.

Six 3.5in bays and three 5.25in bays remain free, while … USB ports are available externally on the Arbico CD8500 PRO, two of which are situated at the front for easy access, along with mic and headphone connections.

The Cyber Acoustic 2.1 speakers provide good-quality stereo, but they don’t take full advantage of the surround-sound capabilities of the Arbico CD8500 PRO’s audio hardware.

Considering that the Arbico CD8500 PRO costs a full £100 less than the other PCs in this chart, while producing the fastest benchmark scores across the board, it’s an astonishingly good deal.

… the Arbico CD8500 PRO is well-built, extremely fast and excellent value for money…

Arbico is an expanding British PC company created five years ago that now sells around 250 desktops every month.

Its latest design, the Silent 6880GT, uses a select range of components to attain near-silent operation.

An Antec Sonata III case is the starting ingredient. It’s a small ATX tower standing 42.5cm high with an attractive black steel construction.

While some cases use internal foam panels to absorb noise, the Sonata keeps noise down by using an efficient 500W power supply, a slow but variable 120mm system fan and a washable air filter to remove dust.

Removable hard disk caddies with rubber fittings to reduce vibrations are a standard feature of the Sonata III, but Arbico goes a step further by fitting its 500GB Sata hard disk in a dedicated Zalman hard drive cooler.

It occupies one of the 5.25in bays, below the DVD writer, and uses an array of heat-sinks to keep the hard drive cool. These not only prolong the drive’s lifespan, but also dampen the hard disk clicks heard during use.

A Core 2 Duo E6850 processor and 4GB of Corsair 800MHz DDR2 Ram sit at the heart of the Silent 6880GT. The CPU is overclocked to 3.4GHz, with a 0.075v increase available if the processor should need it. The Ram is overclocked to 850MHz to synchronise with the overclocked front-side bus (FSB).

Performance was very good, reflected by a score of 8,817 in PCmark05. Another benefit of using a dual-core chip instead of a quad-core is that it draws less power and generates less heat, especially when overclocked. A Scythe Katana 2 heatsink and fan kept the temperature down to 49°C under load, with just a whisper of noise.

The CPU drops to 2.55GHz when not under load, where we measured an outstanding 26°C on the die.
Gigabyte’s P35 motherboard, used here, has plenty of overclocking potential and provides good connectivity too, with the exception of a Firewire port. Two USB ports, one eSata and a headphone jack sit on the front of the case, while eight USB ports and surround sound connectors are fitted into the rear panel.

The motherboard doesn’t have a second PCI Express slot and you’re left with a single Sparkle Geforce 8800GT with 512MB 1.8GHz GDDR3 Ram, which has excellent performance and, in a first for 8800GTs, is silent due to passive cooling.

Excellent scores of 13,529 in 3Dmark06 and 19,810 in 3Dmark05 reflect the 8800GT’s pedigree. Modern games at high resolutions are within its grasp, proved by the Silent 6880GT managing a just-playable 37fps in World in Conflict at 1,920x1,200 with high details.

Power consumption was relatively low, sticking to 91W when idling and peaking at 175W. Throughout a day of vigorous testing the PC sounded as if it was idling.

Vista Home Premium is a free alternative, although Arbico says XP’s performance is better. If you want to see all 4GB Ram, a 64-bit version of Windows can be selected for no additional cost.

The high price reflects that quiet technology costs money. You can build an identical system for less, but Arbico configures it well, with delivery and a two-year return to base warranty included in the price.

Our first look at the Arbico 8500GTS

Money matters, even in the £1,001-plus PCs chart. And so it is that Arbico, pricing its Elite 8500GTS £111 below the second-cheapest machine in this Top 5, grabs itself yet another Best Buy – making it the first manufacturer in PCA history to top all four charts at once. But it’s not just a bargain price tag that propels the Arbico Elite 8500GTS to the head of the class. ....the Arbico Elite 8500GTS is an assured performer, thanks partly to a smart choice of chip – the brand-new E8500 Penryn processor is about as good as it gets without handing over extortionate amounts of cash. Combine this with 4GB of Corsair DDR2-800 RAM and you get a powerhouse PC that scores a staggering 127 points in our WorldBench 6 real-world speed tests.

The Arbico Elite 8500GTS is a top-notch machine. The 500GB hard drive is ample, but we doubt you’ll need more than 500GB, while the Arbico Elite 8500GTS's Samsung SM226BW is an excellent flat-panel with strong colour and clarity. The Creative SB X-Fi XtremeAudio is a great sound card, and the DVD writer is one of the best in existence, offering scorching double-layer speeds. The Arbico Elite 8500GTS also possesses the most powerful single graphics chip here.

As an all-round machine, the Arbico Elite 8500GTS impresses....

It’s a double first for Arbico this month as it manages to top both this and the £1,001+ chart. The main ingredient of its unparalleled success is the Arbico CD8500 XL's brand-new Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 processor. This Penryn chip supplants the E6850, offering considerably more performance for a similar price. Indeed, a 2GB E8500 system will now notch up roughly the same WorldBench 6 tally as an E6850 PC with twice the RAM. Not that Arbico has stuck to 2GB, mind; the Arbico CD8500 XL packs in 4GB of high-calibre Corsair DDR2-800 RAM.

The Hanspree XM New York measures just 19 inches – ... But size isn’t everything. Indeed, the Arbico CD8500 XL's XM New York packs a decent image that easily beats that of the larger GNR and Yuraku screens. It’s a high-quality component and you’d be lucky to save more than a few pounds by specifying the Hanspree rather than the GNR.

... the Arbico CD8500 XL is extremely impressive.

The Arbico CD8500 XL's sound system is arguably the best in the chart; it’s certainly the most consistent. The Audigy SE 7.1 is more than a match for the other PCs’ onboard setups. The Arbico CD8500 XL is well stocked with connectors.... Add a Samsung DVD writer that’s close to the top of its game, and the Arbico CD8500 XL is an outstanding system for the money....

This is a system that's close to the top of its game....

Arbico continues to excel in the sub-£500 PC category, ... the CD6750 SX notched up a stellar WorldBench 6 score of 99.

Predictably, we have high praise for the Arbico CD6750 SX's 2GB of Kingston memory and Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 processor. We’re also quietly impressed by the Arbico CD6750 SX's 19in Hannspree XM New York flat-panel. The Arbico CD6750 SX's graphics card, meanwhile, is no ordinary rendition of the 8600 GT; its 1GB of RAM enables it to beat the other 8600 GTs in gaming tests.

For most sub-£500 buyers, however, the Arbico CD6750 SX will be the PC of choice.

Verdict

The Arbico CD6750 SX is an excellent machine overall, with the top general Windows speed, the most impressive display – not to mention a decent two-year warranty, a fast DVD writer and plenty of software. Component for component, the Arbico CD6750 SX is the best PC for the price.

Actually priced at £899 the Arbico Elite 8850GX is a fantastic value for money desktop PC.

The Arbico Elite 8850GX's WorldBench real-world speed score of 116 is extremely good given the modest price tag.

The Arbico Elite 8850GX's 8800 GTS 512 is a very good graphics card, in spite of its silly naming (its chip is rather more sophisticated than the ones powering the 320MB and 640MB versions of the 8800 GTS). ... the 22 inch is a very decent flat-panel indeed.

The Arbico Elite 8850GX offers excellent gaming speed. The Samsung DVD writer is a searing model, with fantastic 16-speed double-layer support.

Overall then, the Arbico Elite 8850GX represents astonishing value for money for a desktop PC. Grab it while it's hot.

We take value for money seriously, and an attractive price tag has allowed many a system to edge past a closely matched rival in our charts. Arbico’s PCs are a case in point, wearing their budget tags as badges of honour. But when there’s just £50 separating five PCs in our Test Centre, money becomes less significant.

Nonetheless, thanks to some nice components, the Arbico Elite 8800GT SLI is still capable of grabbing second place. The E6850 processor is as fast as any we’ve seen in this category, and the Arbico Elite 8800GT SLI’s WorldBench score of 118 is quite an achievement. The 4GB of RAM is ample, as is the 500GB hard drive – it’s not as large as the 750GB unit supplied with the fourth-placed PC, but it should be more than enough for most users.

the Arbico Elite 8800GT SLI comes with two 8800 GT graphics chips joined in scaleable link interface (SLI). While it depends to some extent on which games you’re playing and at what resolution, this PC is still well equipped for gaming.

The Arbico Elite 8800GT SLI improves on the Best Buy PC’s sound system, while the DVD writer is a top-notch model that offers 12-speed DVD-R DL and +R DL. Add to that a robust case – which comes with plenty of ports and connectors – and an enticing price, and this PC is a worthy runner-up to the big-screened Best Buy PC.

Once upon a time, you could count yourself fortunate to get much of a PC at all for £500. The Arbico CD6750 XL shows how far machines in this price range have come in a short space of time.

Rejecting the sub-standard E6550 and Athlon 64 X2 6000+ chips in favour of a rather stunning Intel Core 2 Duo E6750, the Arbico CD6750 XL simply flew through our WorldBench 6 test suite. The Arbico CD6750 XL notched up a hefty 99-point tally. And the Arbico CD6750 XL has made remarkably few compromises elsewhere to cram in this fantastic processor.

…160GB remains a decent amount of storage space. If you've got a big library of movies and audio files, you might find space a bit tight, but the majority of users will find 160GB satisfactory.

And there can be no quibbling about the Arbico CD6750 XL's 2GB of DDR RAM. Nor, for that matter, the GeForce 8600 GT graphics card. Avid gamers aren't likely to be ecstatic with any of the cards found at this price level, but the 8600 GT offers very solid and playable framerates, provided you're prepared to tone down the detail levels.

The Arbico CD6750 XL's 19in Hannspree XM flat-panel offers perfectly adequate image quality, and its interesting looks will disguise the fact that you've been shopping for your PC on a tight budget. The onboard sound isn't stunning, but the DVD writer is an excellent model - if not quite as brilliant as the Zoostorm 4-2353's.

Even two months after its first appearance, this PC tops the chart for raw performance. This achievement is mostly down to the Arbico 880 GTX’s good use of the Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 chip – one of the most earth-shattering processors we’ve seen.

The 768MB GeForce 8800 GTX graphics card is something of a force to be reckoned with. Only the Ultra throws up higher framerates in games testing and, for gamers and speed freaks, this PC is one of the best choices available. Arbico has upgraded the 880 GTX's flat-panel, and the 22in Hyundai is a very decent screen.

It’s nothing spectacular, but the resolution support and viewing area are impressive.

If anything drew us to the Arbico 807 Pro, it was the quality of the graphics setup. Not only do you get a display that's larger - the additional 1.1in on the viewing area means you get just that slight edge in terms of visual impact - but the s is a slightly more colourful and sharper screen to boot. You also get a pretty decent graphics card for the money.

The WorldBench score of 105 show that the Arbico 807 Pro gained decent mileage from their E6750 processor. …the Arbico 807 Pro's sound system remains one of the best in the chart….
