Packard Bell are still selling both these models, but PC World have moved onto the ipower with either an Intel Pentium 4 1.3Ghz GPU or 1.4GHz CPU.
Back to the ixtreme, it is an excellent machine and came with loads of free software much of which is stored on a seperate area of the hard drive. You have the capability to copy the software to CD thereby freeing up space on the hard drive.
Since getting the computer in December, ...

Advantages: Loads of software, good specifacation for the money, excellent after sales support Disadvantages: out of date virtually as soon as you buy it
I bought a Packard Bell Iextreme in December of last year. The machine when I bought it was very well spec’d for the money (£1199). The spec is as follows:

Floppy Drive 1.44MB 3.5" Drive – Monitor A725 Speakers Supplied with Monitor Video Card nVidia Geforce2 MX 32MB with TV out Sound Card Creative SoundBlaster ... ...choose the software that you want installed. You don’t even have to keep popping disks into the machine to install stuff!
I would strongly recommend Packard Bells to other people as they do come with so much useful software and the level of support I have received is brilliant ...

Boasting 30Gb hard drive, 800mhz Pentium III processor, DVD and CDRW drives, aswell as the Gforce graphics card it is a very powerful machine with no real limitations on its use, be it ... ...few draw backs with the system is with the software supplied for the DVDs, but it does have the advantage of TV-out so they can be played on a television rather than the monitor. Also the keyboard supplied looks very basic compared to the rest of the machine which is aesthetically pleasing with a simple yet appealing design.
