Gateway Quad Core

[geoff]

Channel surfing and on HSN, they had a Gateway, quad core, 3 gigs of RAM,
500 gig HD, 19 inch monitor, dual layer dvd burner, and maybe other stuff I
forgot, but it was $1300 (cost + s&h).

Must have had too much Christmas "cheer". Especially posting it in the
pc-homebuilt newsgroup.

Ahhhhhh, so offensive to post that. I was expecting a comment like it sucks
or does not suck, etc. Most here are focused on dual core.

I love to see college kids post.

But you didn't ask a question, you mereley posted what you saw on the telly
as a fact.

Gateway's the reason I follow this newsgroup. Purchased a P4 when
they were first released and hard drive failed within 3 months. Modem
got hit by lightning which took out the mobo. Gateway wanted more to
repair than the computer originally cost. I decided to try building
my own and have been doing so since.

That is why there is gray matter between your ears, to figure out what to
say, have an opinion, rather than post something obvious.

Have you heard of Kreskin ? He's a famous mind reader...
Maybe he knows which model you're referring to.

OK, this is it. No graphics card. Big ass monitor.
Not such a great deal, as you'll need a graphics card
on top of the purchase price.

Your're right, too tough for some to kick in the ol' grey matter.

I like the pic though and do remember him.

Pillock.

I did not have a repair problem but it is odd that when my brother bought a
gateway in December of the late 90's. it was the fastest machine on the
planet but by summer, it was a slow piece of crap.

What surprised me is everyone here is focused on dual core and sometimes
single core but they had a quad core for what seems like a decent price.
