Gateway FX 6831-03 Gaming Desktop PC Review

While many hardcore gamers and hardware enthusiasts will tell you it's better to build your own rig, some still choose to go with a custom-built model from a recognized brand name. These often come attached to higher premiums, but also to comprehensive customer support and warranties covering the entire system, plus the peace of mind of not having to deal with any troubles that may occur while assembling it piece by piece. Today we'll be taking a look at one of two new high-end Gateway FX Gaming Desktops, or "gaming supercomputers" as Gateway likes to label them. The FX6831-01 and -03 are built upon the original FX6800-05 released at the end of 2008 and that's still available for purchase on the company's website. The hardware on this original model is showing its age, though, and the asking price has not dropped accordingly so these new models bring the line back up to date. The 03 model on our test bed today features an Intel Core i7 860 processor operating at 2.8 GHz (up to 3.46 GHz with Turbo Boost), a whopping 16GB of DDR3 memory, 1.5 TB 7200 RPM SATA hard drive and an ATI Radeon HD 5850 graphics card with 1 GB of onboard memory. The more afforable 01 model is nearly identical but ships with half the system memory and lacks the Blu-ray drive, good for savings of $400.

Gateway FX6831-03

The Gateway FX6831-03 is in many ways a match for one of the power PC category's best price-for-performance systems, the Micro Express MicroFlex 95B. But while the systems share similar performance characteristics, the FX6831-03 surpasses the 95B in features and extras. Though this PC packed with awesome add-ons might not top the charts, you won't find a better value for the $1699 (as of March 1, 2010) cost. The FX6831-03's Intel Core i7-860 processor runs at 2.8GHz, a little below the speed of the MicroFlex 95B's 3.2GHz Intel Core i7-950 CPU. Even so, Gateway's machine was able to deliver comparable performance on our WorldBench 6 suite, earning a score of 142 (close to the 95B's mark of 148). That result is thanks in part to the FX6831-03's memory configuration: The Gateway PC's 16GB of DDR3-1333 memory--no, that's not a typo--is the largest amount we've seen on any system gracing our charts. We have to ask, however, what typical PC activities actually benefit from 16GB of RAM. Would a reduction in price and a switch to 8GB have been a better choice?
