After a little over a month of no computer to use and get online with and I FINALLY got a new computer. Yay me!

Specs:
AMD Anthon 64X2 5000 + 2.6 GHz processor (not all that great )
2 Gigs of RAM
500 gigs of HD space
nVIDIA 8600 GT (PCI-E)
DVD/CD player/burner
Extra USB and audio ports in the front (panel above gateway symbol slides downward)
Lots of memory card/stick slots on the top for ease of access (see pic)

I just wanted to say, why gateway? Because of the price?

Well, what should I have gotten? O_o

I'd LOVE to get a good gaming computer, but those are way too expensive, so yeah.

Custom build your own computer? Buy parts from like newegg.com and build your own.

i would do this to your black comp

2.6 and it isn't all that great >.> that's decent quad-core dunno what you are on.
Suggestion for good gaming computer,
Custom build it, customs are always better.

Well, i was hoping for a 2.8-3.0 processor. I did recently get an nVIDIA 8600 GT card though
And I couldn't custom build mine. Didn't have the time nor resources (since my old computer broke I had no internet). Not to mention, I don't know the specifics of stuff i should have gotten.

Gratz on getting your computer Dante. Don't let the hype fool you. I have a 2.93Ghz and a friend of mine has a 3.4 or something along those lines, and at speeds from 2.4 and up, the speed difference is damn near completely unnoticeable for almost all computer uses. You got 2 gigs of ram, which is plenty, and gaming computers are so overpriced it's ridiculous. Another thing about building your own: Thx to blacc friday sales and doorbuster deals and such, getting a brand-name that can be upgraded is becoming cheaper and more logical of a decision, now that buying all seperate parts (tower/board/drives/hdd/etc) to build a clone is becoming a more expensive situation. You got a new graphix card as well, so that computer should last you quit some time. PC's have stared to plateau in performance so much in the last 4 or 5 yrs that companies like Intel and Microsoft will do ANYTHING to get you to spend a fortune on brand new top of the line hardware or software, when it's really unnecessary. You made a gd buy. ^^
