The FX510 Series Combines Powerful Processors With a Host of
High-Performance Technologies and Advanced Cooling Capabilities
IRVINE, Calif., July 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Beginning today,
technology enthusiasts, serious PC gamers and anyone who wants the
ultimate PC with the latest in technology can order a Gateway(R)
FX510 Series high-performance desktop PC featuring a new powerful
Intel(R) Core(TM) 2 Extreme or Intel(R) Core(TM) 2 Duo processor.
The Gateway FX510 is the ultimate machine for customers demanding a
first-rate PC experience. Enthusiasts and gamers will appreciate
its leading-edge technology, including over-clocking capabilities
and a BTX design that provides cool and quiet operation. The new
high-performance PC delivers a true breakthrough in computing, as
it couples an Intel Core 2 Extreme or Intel Core 2 Duo processor
with support for cutting-edge ATI RADEON x1900 CrossFire Edition
Graphics. The industry-leading Intel Core 2 Extreme processor
delivers unrivaled processor performance and groundbreaking energy
efficiency; the new processors are up to 40 percent faster and more
energy efficient than a system configured with an Intel(R)
Pentium(R) D processor(1). In the coming weeks, Gateway will also
incorporate the Intel Core 2 Duo processor into its business
desktop PC line as well as into its line of notebook PCs for
consumer and business customers to meet a wide range of business,
enthusiast and gaming needs. "We're bringing high-end, leading
technologies direct to consumers -- and now our FX510 Series
desktop PCs take performance to an even higher level with Intel
Core 2 Extreme and Intel Core 2 Duo processors," said John
Schindler, Gateway's director of consumer product marketing. "The
Gateway FX510 Series offers enthusiasts and other savvy consumers a
first-rate system outfitted with the latest and greatest components
available for the ultimate in PC performance." "Anyone looking for
the latest in PC technology can take advantage of Gateway's
direct-to-the-customer sales model to quickly get an advanced
system that delivers power, performance and cutting-edge
capabilities," said Jeff McCrea, Vice President, Sales and
Marketing Group and Co-President, Intel Americas, Inc. "Intel Core
2 Duo and Intel Core 2 Extreme processors are the ideal complement
to the industry-leading technology and cool and quiet BTX design
used in the Gateway FX510 Series PCs." Blistering Performance
Designed for customers who want the most advanced capabilities, the
Gateway FX510 Series is ideal for digital media, entertainment or
graphic-intensive applications. In addition to the new Intel Core 2
Duo processor, the FX510XG or FX510XT models can be configured with
an Intel Core 2 Extreme processor X6800 with 1066MHz FSB and 4MB L2
cache; these PCs include a utility that allows over-clocking for
maximum performance. The FX510 utilizes an Intel(R) 975X Express
chipset with support for RAID 0 and 1 configurations with fast SATA
II/300 hard disk drives. The FX510 Series can be configured with
dual ATI CrossFire graphic cards, adding vibrant color and rich
detail to games and digital media. The high-performance multi-GPU
and motherboard power of ATI RADEON x1900 CrossFire Edition
Graphics provide the highest image quality and screen resolutions
possible, even with the most demanding 3-D titles. In addition to
standard 7.1 audio support, the Gateway FX510 Series comes with the
option of a Creative(R) Sound Blaster(R) X-Fi Audio card for high
fidelity surround sound audio capabilities. The thermal advantages
of the Intel Core 2 Extreme and Intel Core 2 Duo processors are
apparent in the FX510 Series' advanced design. The BTX architecture
more effectively cools internal components, allowing it to easily
handle the fastest processors and power-hungry graphics. As a
result, the design increases the overall reliability of the system
and extends the life of key components by up to 82 percent over
traditional ATX designs(2). Also, the chassis is tool-free, so
customers can quickly and easily add or update cards, hard drives
and optical drives. The FX510 Series desktop PCs can be configured
with an integrated TV tuner and remote control for enjoying live
and recorded television. The series also comes standard supporting
Intel(R) Viiv(TM) technology with Microsoft(R) Windows(R) XP Media
Center Edition 2005. Pricing, Availability and Ordering Available
