news 28 Posted April 29, 2008 PC Perspective has posted a major update to the hardware leaderboard today that reconfigures all four system build categories from Dream to Budget. There are now two AMD systems in the lineup, Mid-Range and Budget, that use the Phenom X4 and X3 processors respectively. NVIDIA is still ruling the GPU world though with all four systems recommending GeForce cards of some kind.

First we moved to a new Yorkfield, 45nm Intel Core 2 Quad Q9300 processor but kept the 780i SLI chipset motherboard. I also upgraded graphics card in this system as well with the new 9800 GTX card - a great single-GPU board that offers 8800 Ultra-like performance at a lower price." Thanks for a post!
