GM5442 Core 2 Duo Desktop

Fast system, especially with upgraded ram. Plenty of storage

As stated before, the MoBO and the built in audio are not playing well together - about every 3rd boot the sound is not working

Nice case cooling, keyboard, mouse. The tuner is definitely an Avermedia with remote and IR blaster(repeater) (only single tuner though). I wasn't able to get QAM working so the IR blaster was required -- skinny wire with a head that sticks directly to...

The onboard audio kept failing in Vista32 -- I think it was hardware because the equalizer was alive but no sound came out. I ended up getting an Audigy SE 7.1 for thirty bucks and all is good ; I think the Aero experience is smooth but Vista's...

looks nice

squirrelly behavior since receiving, including trouble with usb, trouble with sound - sound device is there sometimes, gone other times - call Gateway for support, go through a shared session (that was impressive, btw) they say it's hardware, send it...

Great system, everything in the box was great except for the video. 500gig hd was a plus

The system was working fine for me until I restarted it for the first time. The onboard audio wasn't working properly and had to fix enable/disable it through the bios which led me to purchase a sound card. Overall, its a great bargain

Nice system for the money. Hard drive is a fast sata 3Gb/s and a decent size of 500GB. System comes with tv tuner, 2GB of RAM and runs Vista Premium great

Integrated Intel GMA is the only con. It's adequate for Vista but invest in a better graphics card. I added the XFX GeForce 8600GT to this system and it runs great

Its Really Good ; Everything Work OK ; But Its Not For Gaming :P

Likes Recording Games and Tutorials ; Have Problems With Recording ; I Found Out Theres No " Stereo Mix ; So I Cant Record Sounds From Tha PC ; But Meh

Everything already noted

Hard Drive is very loud. However Gateway sent me a replacement. Interesting part is in is not the same as the original, different mnfg. It is now whisper quite

I bougth this system for a friend to use as an all-around family pc, plus the occasional gaming machine. I like some of the other reviewers upgraded it right out of the box. The onboard graphics are insufficient at best. I bought the 8600GT from XFX,...

The Seagate harddrive is extremely noisy, probally the loudest HDD I have heard

It's a very good basic system with plenty of memory and storage. Of course it does have onboard video and sound, but those can both be upgraded. I put in a Radeon X1650Pro 256MB for under $80. Everything works great right out of the box

There's a restore partition and a Vista install CD. If you wipe out the partition then there's no way to get the Gateway software that comes preinstalled without BUYING A $20 CD from Gateway, but at least you can reinstall Vista. Good luck on finding...

This system is the best value there is!! No problems. Buy it while they still have it or you will be sorry. I am like the last guy I bought the HannsG 22" monitor at the same time. They both kick

None except I did not buy it sooner
