 Secrets on how our PCs perform so much better than the competition

 

   Introduction - Backing up our claim

 

First things first - that's a pretty tall claim to make. If we say that our PCs perform better than PCs from Gateway*, NEC*, Dell*, Dan*, Simply*, Eversham*, Viglen* and other well known names then we'd better be able to back that up. We'd better have some very convincing arguments.

Of course we believe that our PCs are the best ... but you can't rely on our opinion. When talking about our own PCs we are biased! Besides, you've possibly never even heard of us! Always look for a neutral third party's opinion. 

Now for some facts and figures: We've posted some results from tests conducted by magazines like PC Advisor and PC Direct. They speak louder than words. Third party tests, and test results. 

 

    

 

 

 

 

    
 

Okay, so like for like our PCs perform better, and in many cases far, far better than the competition. How do we do it? We'll let you in on some of the secrets.

 

Performance tuning

First, the components for the PC need to be carefully chosen. Use quality parts and make sure you understand them inside out.

   Hard Disks (Part I)

Hard disk speeds are important because they affect the total speed of the PC by an enormous amount. Having a really fast hard disk, in many cases, will give you more of a performance boost than doubling the RAM/memory. Disk Winmark scores are used for measuring hard disk speeds. This test is used by companies like PC Direct, PC Magazine and others in the Zdnet group. No matter how good the hard disk, if it isn't configured and set up correctly it won't perform to its best.

UDMA hard disks around the 20-45 GB size (5400 rpm or 7200 rpm) tend to score between 4000 and 5000 on the Disk Winmark. If a manufacturer scores less than 4000 we believe they've got serious problems, and need new, properly qualified engineers fast. 

We have consistently scored above the 8000 mark. In fact we've scored as high as 9830 (see below). We believe this to be a world record as of the date this page was written.

But it's not a one off. In all PC Direct's tests (for example), through the entire year of 2000, if you average the test results we still have the highest scores. And by a HUGE margin. So it's not a one-off. Now that we've established that we know what we are talking about - how do we get these great scores? And how can you do it without cheating?
