Gateway at last are offering the FX6800 gaming desktops with the latest Intel Core i7 processors, they have two brand new desktop PCs in the FX Series which will freshen your mind.

These desktop computers are for the extreme game on a budget and we say that because for what you get the prices are pretty good, for example the FX6800-01 will cost you $1,249.99 and the key features include 3GB of DDR3 RAM, Core i7-920 processor and a ATI Radeon HD4850 video card.

However the FX6800-05 will set you back $2,999.99 but features the better Core i7-940, 6GB of DDR3 memory, 1TB hard drive plus an 80GB SSD and ATI Radeon HD4870 X2 graphics card. Both the Gateway FX6800-01 and FX6800-05 have Blu-ray drive. Check out the full details and specification list here.

    You probably want to stay away from it. Decent out of a box, but it is likely that buying this class machine you’ll end up wanting to upgrade V-card, memory, HD…or what not,
    This when you can expect series of system failures.
    It can and will be crashed by nVidia card, RAM upgrade, gaming keyboard, even booting with headset plugged in multi-card reader USB will kill it…
    Combination of 64xVista with REALLY non-flexible hardware platform makes it a nightmare of recurrent BSODs ( blue screen of death), reboots in a safe mode, reinstalling drivers..only to end up with “NTLDR is missing” message
    Well, that can happen – but manufacturer cheaply, does not include system restore CD with this +$1,200 machine!
    Customer service…I don’t really know: I asked them for a restore CD and got bunch of unhelpful tips, only to be agreed with at the end, that indeed I need a restore CD . Well; that was first thing I said, wasn’t it?
    After all is said and done; only reusable part is CPU , but certainly not worth $1200. Thumbs Down.
