Reviews of the Velocity Micro Raptor DCX (Intel Core 2 Extreme X6800)
-
CNET Review
The Good: High-end performance leader; more room for expansion than its competitors.
The Bad: More expensive than the competition; case design is looking a little stale after recent innovations from other vendors.
The Bottom Line: The Velocity Micro Raptor DCX delivers the fastest performance we've ever seen, thanks to an aggressively overclocked Core 2 Extreme CPU. Because its price is $1,000 above that of the competition, however, we can't help but feel as though Velocity is buying a championship. That and recent case innovations from other vendors prevent us from giving it a higher rating.
