There you have it, the high-end SOHO system recommendation for the month of August. We can promise you that with the system above speed will not be an issue. We were also quite pleased that we were able to get such a high performing system to be over $500 less expensive than our previous high-end SOHO system recommendation made in June of 2001. Although our processor is more pricey than the one we chose last year, the motherboard, video card, monitor, case, hard drives, and CD-RW drive have all fallen in price.
