Ultimate Value in a Managed Desktop IRVINE, Calif., Feb. 16
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Professional organizations requiring
stability and performance in a desktop PC need look no further than
the new Gateway E-Series offerings. The systems offer both image
stability and powerful technologies, including a range of Intel
processors, the high-performance ATI(TM) Radeon(R) Xpress 200
chipset with integrated Radeon X300(R) based graphics and a fast
PCI Express x16 slot for future graphics expansion. "With today's
introduction of the Gateway(R) E-1500 and E-2600, professional IT
managers don't have to compromise when it comes to outfitting
employees with powerful new PCs," said William Diehl, vice
president of product marketing, Gateway. "The combination of Intel
processors with ATI's chipset enables us to offer systems with
feature sets unheard of at these price points, while still meeting
professional customers' demands for manageability and stability."
Both the E-1500 and E-2600 have been optimized under ATI's Stable
and Unified Platform Program (SUPP), ensuring professional
customers of a stable image throughout the products' lifecycles.
Additionally, configured with a minimum of 512MB RAM, the Gateway
E-1500 and E-2600 meet or exceed Microsoft guidelines for
enterprise customers planning for Windows' Vista, future-proofing
the systems for years to come. "We've invested considerable
engineering resources in building a stable and robust platform,"
said Reuven Soraya, director of platform marketing at ATI. "In
addition, our validation and quality control processes are designed
specifically to meet the demanding requirements of Gateway's
commercial customers." Gateway E-2600 -- Mainstream Performance
with All the Right Features Gateway's mainstream desktop, the
E-2600, is the perfect choice for mass deployment into areas where
performance matters as much as cost. Nicely configured at $749, the
E-2600 offers Intel Pentium 4 or Celeron D processors, ATI Radeon
Xpress 200 chipset and PCI Express x16 slot, Gigabit Ethernet LAN,
533MHz or 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM and a broad range of SATA hard drive
sizes. For system flexibility and ease of deployment, the E-2600
features chassis intrusion detection, remote system monitoring and
BTX technology. Gateway's innovative, tool-free BTX design makes it
fast and easy to access components, eliminating the need to remove
the front bezel or replace optical drive retention screws; dual
system fans keep internal components cool, reduce noise and
increase reliability of key components by up to 82 percent over
traditional ATX designs(1). The E-2600 is available in two
tool-free chassis designs that leverage common internal components
and identical system images. The three-bay, micro BTX case includes
an integrated stand for vertical orientation, while integrated feet
allow for horizontal orientation and secure stacking on deployment
carts. The six-bay micro BTX case is designed with front and rear
"overhangs," so the system can be grasped firmly from the top for
easy movement. Gateway E-1500 -- Ultimate Value in a Managed
Desktop With prices starting as low as $599, professional customers
will find the Gateway E-1500 optimized for the lowest cost of
acquisition, while offering both performance and stability in a
value platform. Compliant under ATI's Stable and Unified Platform
Program and exceeding Microsoft's current requirements for its next
generation operating system, the E-1500 makes the decision painless
when budget constraints are paramount. Featuring a micro ATX
six-bay case, the E-1500 can be configured with Intel Celeron or
Pentium 4 processors and includes ATI Radeon X300 based integrated
graphics and a PCI Express x16 slot. It offers a range of ATA hard
drive sizes, 10/100 Ethernet LAN connectivity and 533MHz DDR2
memory. Pricing and Availability Gateway's new E-2600 and E-1500
