Gateway FX541XT

摘要

Gateway's FX541XT has much in common with its predecessor, the FX540XT. While it's a fine performer with DX9 titles, it's best avoided if you're playing DX10 games at high resolutions. Still, the FX541XT has a great component lineup, even if it sounds like Cape Canaveral during a space-shuttle launch. Plus, the three major differences between the models are nothing to sneeze at. First is price. Coming in at $3,499, the FX541XT is a slightly better bargain, despite having nearly identical specifications, such as a 3GHz Core 2 Extreme QX6850 processor (over-clocked to 3.66GHz), 4GB of DDR2 RAM, the ever-handy Blu-ray/HD DVD combo optical drive (which also burns conventional DVDs), and Windows Vista Home Premium.
