Reviews of the Gateway FX510XT - Core 2 Extreme X6800 2.93 GHz - 21" TFT
-
CNET Review
The Good: Features the latest in high-end hardware, including Intel's outstanding new Core 2 Extreme X6800 CPU; midtower case takes up less space than the high-end competition.
The Bad: Bland case design is outclassed by that of other high-end systems; laggard game performance; lackluster support.
The Bottom Line: We like that the new FX510XT gives you the option of purchasing a fully loaded, Intel Core 2 Extreme PC from Gateway, but it lacks the polish and the performance of other high-end systems. Its midtower case won't hog your desktop as much a full-tower PC, but that's not enough to help it stand out.

Review Summary: Expensive system offers great gaming performance, but its small case limits your upgrade options.

Review Summary: The Gateway FX510XT is like an unmarked police car. It looks like a pedestrian tower PC that's nothing special, but once it hits the game grid, it's a force to be reckoned with.
