Get row where X field value is max

Hi,
I'm trying to figure out the best way performance wise to do the following
Let's say I have TABLE1 with fields TEXT_FIELD and NUMBER_FIELD
TABLE1
TEXT_FIELD NUMBER_FIELD
Test1 1
Test2 2
Test3 3
I want to return the WHOLE row which has the max value for Number_Field (I.E. row 3 in the example above)
Is there a better/quicker way than the following :
SELECT NUMBER_FIELD, TEXT_FIELD
FROM TABLE1
WHERE NUMBER_FIELD=(SELECT MAX(NUMBER_FIELD) FROM TABLE1)
Thanks

you can use this:
SELECT TOp 1 * FROM table1 ORDER BY NUMBER_FIELD DESC
