Gateway DX4320-09

$750.00 Released June, 2010

The Pros:Runs very quietly, fans are barely audible. Wireless keyboard and mouse use a strong RF signal, can sit comfortably at any distance and it will work fine. Hard drive access speeds are high, file scanning with Norton is very fast.

The Cons:Built-in TV tuner is very low-end, reduces the quality of the signal significantly. Case is oversized, doesn't need to take up this much space. Eject buttons on the optical drives need to be pressed just right for them to work.

The Gateway DX4320-09 is a PC designed for power and productivity. The processor has been upgraded from the Gateway DX4320-02e and -04e to an AMD Athlon II X4, which runs at 2.0GHz by default.

Gateway DX4320-09 Desktop Computer - Athlon II X4 635 2.90 GHz by PriceGrabber.com

The amount of system memory has been reduced to 4GB of DDR3, although it is still expandable to 8GB. This is counterbalanced by a faster ATI Radeon HD5570 graphics card that has 1024MB of dedicated DDR3 video RAM onboard, significantly reducing the stress on the rest of the system. The standard 16x DVD SuperMulti drive is still included, but an additional Blu-ray Disc player is now also built in. In most other ways this system resembles the Gateway DX4320-04e, including high definition 5.1 surround sound output, integrated 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet, and video outputs for VGA, DVI and HDMI. A 23 inch widescreen LCD display is included which has 2 speakers built in, and a wireless mouse and keyboard are also included.
