Dell’s Studio XPS makes good use of its Intel Core i7 920 and 6GB allocation of RAM, scoring a commendable 128 points in WorldBench 6.
It’s tough to fight against four PCs armed with Intel’s mighty Core i7 920 when you’ve got a mere dual-core processor, but the Palicomp Phoenix Ballistix E86-24 makes a valiant effort.

As an update to last month's same-name machine, the Arbico Elite i750 Pro offers 1TB of storage and a 1GB HD 4890 graphics card.
The Eclipse Titan X58-Crossfire i792R489's combination of an Intel Core i7 920 CPU and Gigabyte motherboard delivers excellent processing performance.
