Evesham Axis 64 38 Ultra

The Evesham Axis 64 38 Ultra uses the latest processor from AMD, an up-to-the-minute graphics card from Nvidia and Sony's latest dual-layer DVD burner.

Centred around an early version of MSI's 7025 motherboard, it uses a Nvidia Nforce3 250 chipset and is fitted with an AMD Athlon 64 3800+ processor, which uses the new 939pin socket. Running at 2.4GHz and backed by 1GB of DDR400 (PC3200), this system has plenty of punch, backed up by the Sysmark 2004 score of 205.

Using a 256MB Nvidia Geforce 6800 Ultra, the graphics performance scores speak for themselves. 12,316 in 3Dmark03 is impressive, as is 107fps in Unreal Tournament 2003. Evesham supplies a Viewsonic VP171s, 17in TFT monitor with the system which has a native resolution of 1,280 x 1,024 pixels.

A fast Western Digital 160GB Serial ATA (Sata) drive provides storage, so transferring large files shouldn't be a problem.

A Creative Audigy 2 ZS card outputs to a Creative Inspire T7700 speaker system, while there is a V92 modem and integrated Gigabit Ethernet to connect the Axis 64 38 to the outside world. Rounding off the hardware is a Microsoft wireless keyboard and mouse.

There's no doubting the calibre of this PC, but with the latest components it's hard to go wrong. However, a larger hard disk and TFT would justify the high price a bit more.
