PCZones has a UMAX P2 400MHz with a Viewsonic 17" monitor and similar specs otherwise (except 64MB RAM instead of 128 and 60 watt speakers instead of 120) for $1599. The online catalogue is a little confusing: the specs sheet says 6.4MB HD, but the ads and lead-ins and frontpiece say 8.4 MB. With that in mind, here's the listed specs: Umax 400MHz Pentium II CPU PROCESSOR: 400MHz Intel Pentium II processor CACHE: 512K Level 2 SYSTEM RAM: 64MB SRAM CHIPSET/BUS: Intel BX chipset VIDEO: 8MB VRAM; Matrox video card HARD DISK DRIVE: 6.4GB CD-ROM DRIVE: 32X FLOPPY DISK DRIVE: 1.44MB 3.5" NETWORKING: NetGear 10/100 PCI Card AUDIO: Yamaha 3D with WaveTable MODEM: 56K fax/modem V.90 ViewSonic Optiquest Q71 17" Monitor VIEWABLE SIZE: 16.0" PLUG AND PLAY: yes DOT PITCH: 0.27mm LOW RADIATION: MPR-II HORIZONTAL FREQUENCY: 30-70KHz NONINTERLACED RESOLUTIONS: 1280x1024 at 80Hz, 1024x768 at 105Hz ONSCREEN CONTROLS: yes MAC COMPATIBLE: yes
