March 2007 system guide
 

The tech report has a look at the optimal system components for March 2007:
"The Vista launch has come and gone, but the hardware market certainly hasn't been sitting still over the past month and a half. Nvidia has brought DirectX 10 graphics below the $300 mark with its GeForce 8800 GTS 320MB, AMD has generously discounted its Athlon 64 X2 line, and hardware prices have dropped overall—especially in the memory sector. With these changes in mind, we've cooked up a new system guide for your shopping pleasure. Our recommended systems are now faster and cheaper, and we've also added a one-off LAN Box system for enthusiasts and overclockers who need a portable gaming system that won't break the bank.
