Description:
Some computer users demand nothing less than the pinnacle of performance and cutting-edge technology that enables functions such as digital video and digital photo editing. If you identify strongly with this group, the Gateway 700X desktop PC should be high on your short list. The 700X’s spiffy silver and black tower CPU houses a 2.533 GHz Intel Pentium 4 processor with 512 KB of L2 advanced transfer cache that--combined with 256 MB of 266 MHz DDR SDRAM, upgradable to 2 GB--enables you to smoothly run multiple applications simultaneously. An 80 GB hard drive offers vast storage. The system includes an 18-inch analog/digital LCD flat-panel display that combines with a 128 MB nVidia GeForce4 MX440G graphics chip with TV-out and DVI graphics accelerator to provide large, sharp, bright images. The 700X includes a five-piece Boston Acoustics BA745 subwoofer satellite speaker system and a SoundBlaster Audigy audio card with a FireWire interface for streaming digital video directly into the computer at lightning speed. A combination DVD-ROM/-R/CD-RW drive (48x/40x/12x CD, 16x DVD) allows you to watch and edit DVD movies, listen to and create audio CDs, back up data quickly on CD, and play CD-ROM-based games. The 700X offers five PCI expansion slots and a 3.5-inch floppy disk drive, an accelerated graphics port, an integrated 10/100Base-T Ethernet, and a 56K modem. Ports include six USB interfaces (two USB 2.0 on the front, and two USB 2.0 and two USB 1.1 on the back), parallel and serial interfaces, a VGA output interface, and two PS/2 mouse and keyboard connectors. The 700X includes a multifunction keyboard and Logitech USB Optical Wheel mouse. Bundled software includes Windows XP Home Edition, Microsoft Works Suite 2003 (including Microsoft Word and Encarta), and a Norton AntiVirus 90-day introductory offer.
