Eight Heavy-Hitting NT Workstations 300-MHz of Power in the Workstation	With the 440LX chip set at the helm, the Pentium II steers its way clear to workstation nirvana. - by Michelle Campanale
Best Overall 300-MHz Workstations BYTEmark Performance	To determine our Best Overall winner, we relied primarily on performance.
300-MHz Workstations Ratings Best Overall System: Intergraph TDZ 2000 3D Best Value: Xi 600 MTower DP Intergraph TDZ 2000 3D Xi 600 MTower DP
Details Separated at Birth No Sketchy Security Here RAID Invades the PC	Separated at Birth: Compaq's slot- load CD-ROM drive will remind you of something you'd find in a car stereo.
Performance Matters Test Suite	Because most high-end workstation users will need to compile programs, use compute-intensive spreadsheets, and run 3-D graphics, we weighted the C++ (language test), Fourier (WAV-file analysis), and Viewperf (OpenGL graphics) tests double in our overall performance calculations.
Test Results Best Bang for the Buck	No single benchmark can tell you everything you may want to know about how well a system will perform.
