Evesham Decimator 78FX

If you thought the Mesh Matrix Titan FX57 GTX was powerful in the graphics department, check out Evesham's latest effort.

Incorporating not one, but two Innovision Nvidia Geforce 7800 GTXs in a dual-SLI (scalable link interface) configuration, you can take it from us: this machine is seriously fast when it comes to 3D gaming.

Usually we'd detail other specifications first, but in this case it's only right we head straight to the benchmark results.

Mesh's single 7800GTX PC clocked up 7,703 in 3DMark05 last month, but with its two 7800 GTXs, this Evesham astounded us with a score of 12,273, which makes our previous top dogs look lethargic.

In real-world testing, results were similarly impressive with Far Cry notching up 83.05fps (frames per second).

Helping the Decimator 78FX to achieve these results is the latest AMD processor, the Athlon 64 FX-57. Unlike the dual-core Athlon X2 series, the FX-57 is a single-core CPU.

You shouldn't get too despondent, it's still blisteringly fast, but if you're in to multi-threaded applications, such as video editing or 3D graphical rendering, you might want to opt for a dual-core PC.

Two 512MB PC3200 Dimms provide the FX-57 with 1GB of RAM, the bare minimum we'd expect with a system of this ilk.

Sysmark 2004 SE doesn’t concern itself with powerful 3D graphics, but the score of 229 is still 10 points more than last month's Mesh, which housed the same processor.

The main reason for the 10 point increase is down to the hard drives in a striped Raid configuration, which allows for faster disk access. With both Maxtor Serial ATA drives offering 250GB of storage, you've got half a terabyte of disk space to play with.
