* Today's Best Buy: Dell Dimension 8400
Dell's new top-of-the-line desktop PC ($2999) is the first system
we've reviewed that uses Intel's new 925X chip set--and the first
we've tested that carries a 3.6-GHz Pentium 4 processor. This new chip
set lets the 8400 use the latest dual-channel memory and the new PCI
Express bus, and it incorporates more functions into the motherboard.
Not surprisingly, the system did very well on our performance tests.
And it produced extremely high frame rates in our graphics tests,
which use demanding games such as Unreal Tournament 2003.
The bundled 19-inch Dell UltraSharp 1901FP LCD monitor produced bright
and realistic colors, and text looked sharp and highly readable.
Our system came with 5.1-channel Dell 5650 speakers that delivered
excellent sound.

* Jewel Quest: Make your way through the Mayan ruins to embark on the
ultimate Jewel Quest. *
In Jewel Quest, explore the ancient ruins of the Mayan civilization
while discovering hidden treasures and priceless artifacts. In this
unique new take on the classic-style matching game, you must rearrange
valuable relics to turn sand tiles into gold. Game play starts by
lining up three or more jewels or artifacts to change the puzzle board
from sand to gold. Fill the board with gold to reveal a new piece of
the golden relic and advance to the next level. As you venture deeper
into the jungle, you will encounter increasingly difficult puzzles
containing secret twists, cursed items, and buried artifacts.
