Product Shot 1 The Pros:Includes the 64-bit version of Windows 7 - required to take advantage of all installed RAM. No bundled monitor keeps the price down. 8GB of memory permits intensive multi-tasking for power users.

The Cons:Ships with Windows 7 Home Premium - might not be enough for some. Graphics card lacks DirectX 11 support. 300 watt power supply limits upgrade options.

 Gateway's DX4840-15 is a mid-range desktop PC that builds on the model below it, the DX4840-07. The only two upgrades come in the graphics department, which uses a GeForce GT320 GPU with 1GB of dedicated memory, as well as a memory increase to 8GB of RAM instead of 6GB.
