This review is from: Gateway Desktop PC DX Series DX4800-05e Intel Pentium E5200 6GB DDR2 640GB HDD NVIDIA GeForce 9200 Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit
Pros:
Vista 64 bit O/S - front panel access to USB, firewire, SD chips, etc - ready to use within one (1) minute after turn-on - quiet - plugged everything in and it all worked the first time on. Wonderful! Outstanding vaue.
Cons:
Lots of garbage software came with the unit -- easy to remove - works faster without it anyway. Could not find a useful owner's manual in the packing. Video card is not for a gamer (GForce 9200). Only analog video port available. More than adequate for my purposes.
Overall Review:
Just happy my monitor had both HD and analog ports. Make sure you let it run on the Microsoft site to update everything (38 updates including IE8, in my case). Also, go to all other sites to download 64 bit software for any printers, scanners, etc you may have. They will NOT work with 32 bit drivers. You can type in the Start box most of what you can't find conveniently elsewhere...like msconfig , which lets you stop some junk from even starting. Most all your old apps work just fine on Vista 64...they may be even faster. Try them before you waste a LOT of money on any new software.
