Welcome to AthlonXP.com. This site was originally started to help Monarch Computer Systems (in business since 1991) decide which products were of the highest quality to build into their computer systems and to avail for purchase on their website. It was natural to provide this information to Monarch's customers as well as to the general public. Product reviewers and editors were contacted to be the objective source of information.

The reviewers of AthlonXP.com are all independent, doing it for the joy of the hobby. You will never find us giving a piece of hardware or software a good review if it does not deserve it. Since this review site is backed by a system builder, not hardware manufacturers, we don't need to beg for products and then give a good review for fear of not getting future products sent. We pride ourselves on giving good information and entertainment to the world. With our help, Monarch Computer Systems benefits because it dramatically cuts down on returns of bad product, a goal of any system builder.

Since the start of AthlonXP.com, it has grown into its own light. It not only offers a multitude of news, reviews, and information from affiliate sites, it will be providing more information on compability / incompatibility issues and return rates of reviewed products. You'll find fixes to hardware problems, driver updates and more. AthlonXP.com forums - the most exciting part of the website - allow visitors access to read about various computer-related topics submitted by consumers everywhere. Join in by submitting your own information to share with others. AthlonXP.com is also attracting gamers, with reviews and articles from fans of EQ and Unreal Tournament, with a dedicated webserver to hold weekly NASCAR 2002 races!

AthlonXP.com appreciates your interest and looks forward to feedback on what you'd like to see on the site. Many of the products reviewed (of course those reviewed positively) are available on the MonarchComputer.com website, some are not. However, our goal is to provide consumers with objective, always updated information on computer hardware and software and to provide a fun site for the enthusiast community.
