Listed below you'll see five desktop, each using a brand new Core i7 CPU from Intel. Thanks to this updated processor and its accompanying hardware, all of these PCs have redefined speed in their respective price categories. The benefits of raw computing speed may have been obscured lately, especially given so much talk about relatively low-end NetBook laptops. And while it's true that many of us can get by with a simply functional computer, anyone with a specific performance need will be relieved to know that Core i7 has moved the speed bar forward.

| The Bottom Line | Velocity Micro's Edge Z55 provides a powerful example of the leap ahead in performance afforded by Intel's new Core i7 CPUs. Velocity Micro's own overclocking efforts don't hurt either. Any PC gamer would love to make this upper midrange desktop their own. |
