The base spec includes Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 processors, 512MB ATI Radeon X1950 CrossFire video cards, Gigabit Ethernet, and 500GB hard drive. There’s a 1000GB option too. According to Gateway the only choices available for a quad-core system in the US retail channel “have been extremely expensive propositions from boutique specialists”.
At this years CES, we were told by Gateway that they are beginning to focus more on gaming machines, and now we have proof. A quick check of Dells website only shows a single system that utilizes a Quad-Core processor… and it costs over $5,000. Competition is good, so here’s to hoping Gateway continues their move into the gaming realm.
