Low cost, decent performance ; Nice 19-inch display

Lousy gaming performance ; Poor interior cable tie-offs

This triple-core Phenom system is a solid buy for SOHO users on a budget.

Minor gripes and finish issues aside, the GT5692 is a bargain for your home or small office at US$770 (as of October 10, 2008).

Great value(I think), fast,Phenom x3 processor, integrated graphics are mostly great,No driver problems(what are mac vista haters talking about. my 6 year old printer installed itself in about 10 seconds. faster than on my XP), mostly upgrade friendly,...

Vista (not the worst, give it time), 1 case fan, weak 300w power supply, integrated graphics are great but only are truly useful on games up to spore's requirements or less

Very fast computer. Vista works flawlessly so far and the 4 GB of RAM are great. Great computer for the money. Installed wireless card and ugraded to 8GB RAM. Both are recognized and working flawlessly as well

None so far

This computer is quick and is a great deal for the money. Vista 64 works flawlessly and upgraded to 8GB RAM without a hitch. Wireless card also installed easily and everything works great

None so far

Nice sturdy case with plenty of room ; good quality keyboard (with built-in wrist rest) and mouse ; top of the line on-board Radeon HD 3200 video ; fast triple-core processor ; plenty of RAM ; big hard drive

Speakers are typical packaged ones: good mid-range, okay highs, no bass ; on-board video still a weak point for high-end games (Windows Experience Index gave scores of 5.2 for processor, 5.9 for memory, 5.9 for hard drive ... and 4.0 for both graphics...

Installed Vista 64 bit with no issues, recognized my add on old IDE Disk Drives seamlessly. I was surprised on how well my old software applications installed and runs with no problems

Bad keyboard keys, I have 4 keys that don't work, tried to re-load the keyboard driver, but no joy. My son's Gateway keyboard works fine with this PC. Gateway after a few emails did give in and agreed to ship me a new keyboard...its been two days, so...

Comes with 4 GB RAM; triple-core processor will keep you speedy for a long while. The triple-core processor is sort of an "odd duck" as most processors are dual or quad core... but it runs like greased lightning so no complaints here ; You can turn...

I forget if Gateway put a lot of add-in software on the Vista install, but I don't think they did- nothing you can't remove anyway. Oh- the drive bays are tricky to get into if you want to add another DVD drive to it. There, I found something to pick...

Still an awesome computer from my last review a few days ago so that's good :)

Something came up that I figured I had to bring up, it turns out my system's locking up had nothing to do with crysis ; it locked up while listening to music and checking out parts on IE... interesting.... It's weird but other than a quick restart once...
