take a look at the
Voodoo PC OMEN a121x CrossFire Extreme Gamer PC. Delving briefly into the
OMEN CrossFire's specs, you'll note this system is built around ATI's recently
released CrossFire Xpress 3200 chipset, on an Asus motherboard, driven by a
highly overclocked Athlon 64 FX-60 at 2.95GHz guaranteed stable and warranted
from the factory for 1 to 3 years. 3D Graphics are rendered with a pair of the
fastest GPUs ATI has to offer in CrossFire mode - the Radeon X1900 XT. 800Gigs
of 7200 RPM Hitachi RAID 0 storage array serves up the file system, along with
2GB of low-latency Corsair 3500LL Pro memory and a Creative Labs X-Fi to keep
the tunage on key.
The Voodoo OMEN CrossFire a121x posted some of the fastest general
application benchmark scores we've seen to date. In fact, many times the
system produced the top benchmark score we've ever recorded from an
off-the-shelf setup, especially in our Office, Windows Media Encoder, and
Cinebench testing. From a gaming perspective, and frankly that's what we need to
focus on when considering this product's overall value, the OMEN CrossFire also
offers up best-of-class performance, trading punches with our ever-potent
GeForce 7900GTX SLI reference system.
There are a few caveats that are more or less intrinsic to the base technologies
the system is built upon, however - those being its dual Radeon X1900 XT
graphics cards in CrossFire mode. Here's where the OMEN CrossFire
unfortunately isn't quite as shiny as its impressive chassis and cooling system.
During testing, we saw graphical anomalies with 3DMark06 when CrossFire was
enabled, but perhaps more discouraging was the somewhat flaky behavior of ATI's
drivers, which occasionally hung while loading the Catalyst Control Center,
requiring a reboot of the machine.
