Gateway today announced three new models to their DX Series of microtower PCs, delivering extreme performance and incredible system response. They are ideal for digital photography, video editing, graphic/content creation or watching streaming video.
In addition to its eye-catching yet simplified design, new technologies found in the DX line include the high-performance second-generation Intel Core i5 2300 Processor, Intel H67 Express Chipset, wireless capabilities, Blu-ray and an additional easily accessible hard drive expansion bay. Adding to the 1TB or 1.5TB green product SATA drives (depending on model), users can now expand their total storage by another 2TB, allowing for up to 3TB or 3.5TB of massive storage space.
All DX models also include top-of-the-line audio and visual entertainment features. Smooth video playback with extraordinary detail and film-quality game effects are achieved through NVIDIA GeForce graphics or Intel HD Graphics 2000. Theater-like sound is delivered through 5.1-channel high definition audio support.
