The past couple of months have had some major changes in the performance market. Processors have come out that feature six cores on a single chip and NVIDIA has released their first Direct X 11 graphics cards. Even with these releases, many companies are sticking with previous designs and hardware to keep costs down as consumers are focused much more on value than before.
The majority of people looking for a high performance desktop computer are typically using it for PC gaming. There are people looking to use them for tasks like desktop video and the such, but most manufacturers still market them as game machines. With the current economy though, people are not as eager to spend $5000 for such a system as they did in the past. As a result, I've changed the focus of my best performance desktop list to focus more on performance at a value price and breaking out the list based on various features and functions as well as price.
