  The Good: A fair price for the hardware.

  The Bad: The 64-bit Windows Vista limits your options for adding peripherals and introduces the potential for compatibility headaches; integrated graphics chip sucks system memory, hindering overall performance.

  The Bottom Line: By submitting this system with 64-bit Windows Vista, Polywell opens it up to driver conflicts, application incompatibility, and underwhelming performance on memory intensive tasks. We're not sure what the benefits are, either. You can configure it with 32-bit Windows, and improve on the hardware to bring its performance up, but at that point it loses its price advantage. Pass this one by.
