Gateway Is Ready To Rumble!

The New FX530 Series Delivers Maximum Performance

There are always people who will settle for nothing but the best. Gateway has stepped up to the plate to offer the PC enthusiast’s dream machine, the new Gateway FX530 Series Desktop PC. This is as good as it gets. Gateway allows you to customize your machine with a smorgasbord of high-end options that will make the FX Series a “must have” for advanced applications such as digital content creation and serious PC gaming.

The Gateway FX530 desktop PC delivers a true breakthrough in computing by including cutting-edge technology, some never offered by a mainline major manufacturer before. Gateway is offering a powerful combination of various “best-of-breed” components that you won’t find on any mass produced PC at Sam’s Club. You have many performance choices available including an Intel Core 2 Extreme processor with ATI RADEON Dual Card x1950 and x1900 CrossFire Edition Graphics.

Gamers will especially appreciate the fact that the Gateway FX530 can be purchased direct from Gateway with over-clocking capabilities built-in at the factory. Over-clocking technology simply makes the chip run faster by tweaking out every last ounce of processing that it is capable of delivering. It’s like driving a Z06 Corvette at “red-line”. To show their faith in this option’s durability, each over-clocked machine is fully tested and backed by a Gateway limited warranty. I can’t recall any major manufacturer that has ever made over-clocking available, with or without a warranty, until now. You can now comfortably operate your machine at its absolute top speed, providing previously unavailable levels of reliability and support while delivering new performance heights.

First-rate Features for Top-Notch Multimedia, Gaming
You have a huge array of choices on almost any level. The FX Series features support for a range of PCI Express graphics cards from NVIDIA and ATI, including the leading-edge ATI RADEON x1950 and x1900 CrossFire Edition Dual Graphics Cards for superb video, graphics, and gaming performance. Of course, no system of this caliber would be complete without great audio, so you have the option of adding Audigy 4 and Sound Blaster X-Fi sound cards as well as award-winning Logitech Surround Sound Speakers.

The new FX530 desktop series include Intel Viiv technology and Microsoft Windows XP Media Center, making it easy to view photos, video, listen to music or watch DVDs. All FX models support an optional integrated TV tuner and remote control for TV viewing from the comfort of the couch. These desktop PCs feature Gigabit (10/100/1000) Ethernet for a fast network connection, critical for online gaming as well as for sending and receiving large data files, such as photos and video.

High-capacity, High-performance Storage
The FX530 Series features some of the most advanced storage technologies available in a PC today. You can order one with 750GB perpendicular drives for leading-edge system performance as well as a massive capacity of up to 2.25TB. The additional drive bay allows you to expand storage capacity to 3TBs, should you need that much. In addition, several FX models come standard with two Western Digital Raptor 150GB 10,000 RPM drives striped for maximum performance. Featuring three configured hard drives, you have the option of configuring their FX530 with RAID 0, 1 and 5, providing performance and redundancy benefits. Folks, this is a lot of fast storage!

New Chassis Design
The FX Series’ superb technology and features are matched by a handsome new chassis design. The chassis has “FX” on the side panels in a choice of four metallic colors, including redline, copper core, black steel and blue carbon. The air intake vent on the front of the system complements the FX effects for enhanced visual appeal. In addition, the new chassis utilizes a BTX design that delivers cool and quiet operation, while its tool-free chassis allows for easy upgrading and access to internal components.

Configurations, Pricing and Availability
Depending on the options you select, the FX Series runs from a very affordable (read “bargain”) $2499 to a less affordable, but still a bargain, $5,000. If you are serious about running demanding PC applications and need all the speed and storage you can get, this is the real deal.
