While AVG seems to repeat the media encoding lessons, WinRAR really shows the sub-$2,000 machine having an advantage over the sub-$1,000 PC. As WinRAR uses a lot of hard disk transfer, this is probably attributable to the RAID hard disk configuration in the sub-$2,000 PC. The sub-$4,000 PC easily walks away with top honors, having it’s own much faster RAID.

Mmm, so everyone who's going to overclock their PC has a gaming-quality 24" LCD? No? So why didn't you focus on 1680*1050 if you're going to even bother including the sub-$1000 system in the comparison? That's the standard resolution of high-end 17" and most mainstream screens under 22" (even some cheap 22" as well)
