SYS Performance™ 1400TD Scores "Best Buy" with PC World
PC World
November 2001
GREAT news...the SYS Performance 1400TD (AMD Athlon 1400) has just received PC World's prestigious "Best Buy" award for Power PCs (November 2001 print issue; PC World.Com, October 1, 2001). Not only did Sys win the award (nice for bragging rights - Sys' and Sys' customers), that system is now even lower priced, making it an even better value.
Not to let this occasion pass without appropriate comment, please allow a bit of a comparison—between the top rated Dell system (Best Buy slot #1 of 2) and the SYS Performance 1400TD (Best Buy slot #2).
