  Zeos did very well in Graphics Winmarks, but it was extremely poor in
  everything else.  This might be due to the built-in cpu upgradeability,
  (which is not worth much in my opinion.)

  However, looking at Zeos ad in the same PC Magazine, it seems to me that
  they have changed the video card on their 66 VLB system.  They now have a
  Diamond Speedstar 24 VLB card.  The card that was used during the test
  was a Zeos VGA 9000 VLB (with the fast Weitek 9000 chip.)

  In other words, if you are buying a Zeos system expecting the great
  graphics perfomance reported by PC Magazine, you'd better check up on
  this.

  [We had this discussion two or three months ago and I thought everyone
  pretty much decided the Gateway system, if you were willing to chance the
  service, was far superior to the Zeos system.  Since then, the Gateway
  system has swept all the awards.  But now, Zeos has lowered their price
  to $2995 from $3695, so it's probably worth a reevaluation.  In my opinion
  though, Gateway is still better.]
