Gateway GP7-800

This roomy Enterprise offers galaxy-class performance.

  

WHAT'S HOT: A speedy PC WorldBench 2000 score of 156 places the Gateway GP7-800 in the front of the pack among similarly configured PIII-800 systems. The gargantuan tower offers lots of room for expansion, with three open PCI slots and six open bays. Bundled with a network interface card, a hefty 30GB hard drive, and Microsoft Office 2000 Small Business Edition, the GP7-800 is ready for business.

WHAT'S NOT: For $1679, we would expect a DVD-ROM or CD-RW drive, but the system ships with a 17X-40X CD-ROM drive.

WHAT ELSE: Colors on the 19-inch Gateway EV910 monitor look rich but a bit dark, while text remains sharp up to the maximum resolution of 1600 by 1200. The system is simple to set up, with labeled, color-coded ports and a side panel that's easy to remove and reconnect. The system manual is thick and features helpful color illustrations, useful upgrading tips, and troubleshooting information.

BEST USE: For those who need performance and expandability, the GP7-800 won't disappoint.
