Today, Gateway introduced new FX-Series high-end multimedia PCs, as well as updates to its DX-Series of mainstream- and entry-level desktops.
The systems will be built around quiet BTX cases, similar to the current FX- and DX-Series PCs, and many will include the Intel Viiv certification. Viiv (rhymes with five) is a new platform from Intel that centers on digital entertainment. The certification lets consumers know that the PC has prerequisite hardware and software geared to home theater (or consumer electronics) performance and usability. These PCs are being built with Intel components, including chipsets and dual-core processors, and they will have surround sound, high-quality video, and "instant on" capabilities–all key components of ViiV.
The FX400 series morphs into the FX410 series, with dual-core Pentium D processors and the Intel 945G chipset. Like the FX510, the FX410 can be configured with Intel Viiv and Windows Media Center 2005. The FX410 is aimed at high-end multimedia users as well, but at lower prices. With a Pentium D 920 processor, 320GB hard drive, nVidia GeForce 6600, MCE 2005, and a 17-inch display, the FX400X goes for about $1,500.
Gateway offers the DX110, DX210 and DX310 in the mainstream and entry-level space. Here there are different levels of desktops built around the ATI Radeon Xpress 200 graphics chipset and Intel processors. The DX310 is available with a dual-core Pentium D 920, 200GB hard drive, integrated Radeon Xpress 200 graphics, and a 17-inch LCD for about $1,150. The DX210 uses a single-core Pentium 4 630 processor, 160GB hard drive, integrated Xpress 200 graphics, and a 17-inch LCD for under $700. In the entry-level space, there's the DX110X, which uses a Celeron D 336 processor, 160GB hard drive, integrated Radeon Xpress 200 graphics, and 17-inch LCD for about $600.
All FX and DX Gateway systems come with Always-There recovery software, Gateway BigFix software, a 90-day subscription to McAfee Internet Security Suite, Microsoft Money, and Microsoft Works 8.
