Best Buy $779 Gateway LX6810-01

This is a what you call “More bang for your buck”! This system is very fast and very affordable. Bought this with lower expectations for Gateway products, and immediately fell in love with this “power house”. Setup your Satellite or Cable with it and start recording live TV. Drop in a new 3d-Game and start “fragging”, or just get straight to work. This system is great! My only complaint was that it uses DDR2 instead of DDR3 Memory, but they made up for it by dropping in 8GBs. It runs Microsoft® Windows Vista x64 bit Edition.

Product summary

The good:
Includes discreet graphics card; configuration includes TV tuner and remote control; chassis offers ample room for expansion; inexpensive.

The bad:
No Wi-Fi; smaller hard drive than the competition.

The bottom line:
The affordable Gateway LX6810-01 scores high points for offering high-end components right off the shelf. We recommend this system for multimedia editors and light gamers who can make use of its hard-working Nvidia 3D card and full 8GB of RAM. However, if you’re looking more at straightforward performance, Dell offers a system with a faster CPU and a similar feature set for about the same price.
