NEC Japan has launched the NEC ValueOne MT series of desktop PCs. The ValueOne comes in two streams: Basic (4 models) and Advanced (3 models).

If you thought AMD's Athlon 64 FX-60, with a clock speed slower than its predecessor FX-57's clock, is slower than the latter, think again. The FX-60 is a spanking dual core processor which means two cores running at 2.6GHz - that's what I'd call raw power.
