Gateway 700C 2.0GHz: Skimping on Everything But the CPU?

[Bob The Great]

That sounds like somthing Compaq would or actaully has done! Sad... Gateway used to be so good :(

O well I build my own PC's anyway :)

[Jeffy]

Well, this is wut i always expect from Gateway, HP, Compaq, Packard Bell, e-machine, Sony, etc... The know that most un educated pple love the mhz. ne ways, some day we will have a company like alienware or falcon northwest at the top of the computer manufacturer line. lolz.

[dathenv]

Yeah, and by then, they'll do the same thing too!
All that matters to them is money $$$ money
Don't you agree?

You can make a tin can and a piece of string sound good too.:)

Work for the Field Services department at Gateway, that ol' TNT2 refuses to die here.

:( Once again corporate box builders underestimate the consumer. Not everything is related to the Mhz of the chip.

If it had, and it sounds like it does, Great expansion capabilities, I could see it, as being viable. At least it would explain how they wolud get their margin out of the box. Then hit you up for almost immediate upgrades. ( Boy aren't we busy ). SOSOS.......;) :mad:

forget these box makers. any respectable computer enthusiast should be able to build a system in a couple hours. shame on them anyways.
