CNET editors' rating:
3.5 stars
Very good
THE GOOD
Quad-core CPU, 4GB memory, dual 320GB hard drives, includes 64-bit Vista.
THE BAD
Not SLI-capable, two button PS/2 mouse and USB powered speakers.
THE BOTTOM LINE
The Gateway FX7026 offers a quad-core processor at a modest price tag with specifications that any high-end gamer will be satisfied with. You might want to replace the peripherals and the video card down the road, but this system is an excellent option for a nonconfigurable, off the shelf desktop.

Dollar for dollar, this Gateway is a powerful PC that is perfect for most applications. While not the most powerful gaming machine out there, it does offer substantial gaming performance for a lot less than a custom built PC.
