Wahoo P4 Stratagem System Review

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the test-driving dept.

Ian Bell writes "Buddhacon reviews the P4 stratagem system from Wahoo Computers. Could this be the most powerful home system on the market? With just about every option available including an overclocked Intel 2.9GHz CPU, Radeon 9700PRO, 1GB of memory and all the cooling features you can think of you would think a system like this would blow the competition away. Just goes to show that sometimes a fine tuned V6 can beat an over the top V8."

    I'd like the alienware Area51 laptop more

    up to 3 GHz p4, even if it IS a desktop P4 and not a laptop one... that's what AC adaptors are for

  3. pressure by MySpleenHurts · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    We should make sure, when comparing engines, that we talk about engines that are submitted to the same intake pressure (normal atmospheric or otherwise). A F1 car from around 20 years ago could produce 1000HP from a 1.6 liter v6. Of course they were running ~80 PSI :) A modern day F1 car can produce ~900 HP per liter out of a normally aspirated 3 liter V10. More important than cylinders is volume. An engines efficiency should be based on HP/ liter. So that would put a modern F1 car at 300HP/liter, the HONDA S2000 at 120HP/liter and a ford mustang GT at 56HP/liter (all normally aspirated)
