Cover of the May 2003 issue of Maximum PC Maximum PC was by far my favorite PC magazine. It started life as 'Boot' in, I believe, 1998. It soon changed it's name to Maximum PC and it was a magazine for PC enthusiasts. Those who bought gaming PCs or built their own high performance machines. It survived later than most PC magazines but it ceased publication a few years back. The May 2003 issue includes: Regulars In/Out - Readers write in about computers from Wal-Mart, Mini-ITX, Alienware, and more. Quick Start - A first look at the PCI Express bus, the first blu-ray recorder, the CDR-ROM, and more. Head2Head - A comparison of the VIA Apollo KT400A and nVidia nForce2 chipsets. WatchDog - Capacitor problems on Abit motherboards, a class action lawsuit against Lexmark, over the top Turbo Tax copy protection, and more.
