Small Form Factor Pentium 4 PC Roundup - March 2003

General Usage & Content Creation Performance

The top three performers here all run within 3% of each other, which is at the limits of the normal variation for this test. The Shuttle SB52G2 is the only one that falls behind by a noticeable amount, mainly because of its 845GV chipset. Not only is this platform using Intel's integrated graphics core (which eats into main memory bandwidth), but the platform also only has support for DDR266 while the rest of the systems here are running DDR333. Since this is a corporate targeted platform, the fact that it is 13% slower than the SB51G is somewhat excusable, however why settle for worse performance?

We see a similar situation in Content Creation Winstone 2003; the three DDR333 setups manage to outperform the SB52G2 by 8 - 10%.

Oops -- I should've included this:http://www.compuplus.com/insidepage.php3?sid=92hz3...
The above link has a "spec sheet". Takes a P4 up to 2.8G, etc. etc.

MSI has a new "MegaPC" SFF PC with built-in stereo tuner (has a spiffy LCD on the front), model MS6251. If anyone has any experiences with this one, esp. with Linux, please let me know -- I'm emailable at:liberty@eskimo.com

Speaking of taking up space on the desk...Is it just me, or is it more "efficient" to have a PC on the floor where you'd otherwise have... floor (under a desk, or near it) than to have a cube PC take up desk space that you can otherwise use?

Well, except that the keyboard is two inches thick, there is no AGP slot, the chipset is SiS, and the performance _really_ stinks. :(Build an nForce2 IGP in there, let it use standard drives and memory, and make it as inexpensive as shuttle boxen, and it'll be worthwhile :)

There is an alternative to the Box PC. It is called the "zero-footprint-pc" by Cybernet, it is a complete Pentium 4 based PC inside a normal size keyboard. The CUBE PC types are nothing more than a mini-tower still taking desk space. The Keyboard PC does not take any more than a keyboard on your desktop.kaniakhan - Monday, December 17, 2018 - link
