Jan 8 - True to its style of building tricked-out systems, Maingear has launched its first foray into AMD's Phenom II architecture: a souped-up, overclocked machine dubbed the Dash. Since the capacity for overclocking is a large component of AMD's Phenom II X4 940 Black Edition processor, we were quite curious to see how an overpowered system would fare against PCs based on Intel's Core 2 Duo, Core 2 Quad, and Core i7 processors. The Dash holds its own against most tested value PCs (rightly so, as its $1499 price is at the top end of the category), but struggles against most of the desktops in our Top 10 Power PCs chart, some of which cost only a few hundred dollars more.
