Gateway FX510XT Desktop Computer Review At CNET
CNET has reviewed the Gateway FX510XT which is a "fully loaded, Intel Core 2 Extreme PC". 'Based purely on its specs, the Gateway FX510XT looks like a highly competitive gaming PC. Its Intel Core 2 Extreme X6800 CPU is the fastest currently available, its 4GB of 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM exceeds the maximum amount currently supported by Windows XP, and its 512MB ATI Radeon X1900 XT 3D card is paired with a compatible ATI CrossFire card, giving you one of the fastest graphics configurations around.
On the whole, the Gateway is competitive, but not dominant. On CNET Labs' new iTunes and Photoshop tests, it essentially tied the Dell XPS 700. It fell behind the XPS 700 on our multitasking and Microsoft Office tests, we suspect, because Dell uses an Nvidia motherboard chipset and Nvidia graphics cards, which when matched can give you a boost in graphics throughput and in turn could aid the graphics processing portions of those tests. Gateway uses Intel's own 975 circuitry and the aforementioned ATI cards. Those matchups might also explain the 3D scores.'
