Gateway FX530XT (Windows Vista) Review

Posted on 2007-02-17 22:18:46 by Thomas De Maesschalck

Only the operating system and the amount of system memory set this Gateway FX530XT apart from the FX530XT that we reviewed in November 2006. That $3,650 model had Windows XP and 2GB of memory; this newer one goes for $3,660 and comes with Windows Vista Home Premium, and 4GB of RAM. Sounds like a good deal. But wait until you see the 3D test scores for this purported high-end gaming desktop. We liked the FX530XT in its first incarnation, but now we're not so jazzed. In fairness, the whole gaming desktop market is out of whack right now, but Gateway missed an opportunity to differentiate itself with this system.
