 ... than as a real indicator of performance. In fact, a number of PCs running at a mere 800MHz bested the Essential 933 in our performance tests. (And we tested with 128MB RAM for benchmark consistency--this configuration is only available with 64MB. With less memory, expect performance to degrade even further.) The lackluster performance is a result of a combination of factors. The Essential has no dedicated video card, instead using the video capabilities built into its Intel chipset. This provides enough power for typi...more

Crowned ReviewGateway Performance: gateway performance -933 (1439 words)

I would like to introduce a new member to my growing computer family. This is the Gateway Performance-933. I already own a Gateway GP- 350mhz Intel Pentium 2, and a custom built AMD K-6 350mhz. Both computers are comparable in speed and stability. I decided to add this computer because my small home office is growing, and my computer needs are increasing. Why did I go with Gateway? I went with Gateway because of the past performance of my old computer. It has been almost rock solid, and when I did have a problem Gateway Tech Support was very helpful, courteous, and knowledgeable. I have learned a lot from them. I placed my order with Gateway, ...  Read the complete review

Performance 933 a Beauty!!! (606 words)

You're not the type to tinker and expand your PC--you want something you can plug in and start using, and you're more likely to replace it someday rather than upgrade it. If this description fits you, the Gateway Essential 933 is your kind of computer. Out of the box, the Essential 933 includes a reasonable set of basic capabilities for its price tag. Along with a 933MHz Pentium III and 64MB of RAM, you get a 17-inch monitor, a DVD-ROM drive, and a nice set of speakers. In addition, this PC is very novice friendly. With a detailed instruction sheet, even newbies will have it up and running in minutes. Connections are color coded, and Gateway doesn't ...  Read the complete review

Gateway Performance: Dependable Gateway (296 words)

I bought a Gateway Performance 500 about a year ago, when a 500MHz processor was pretty impressive. Of course, clock speeds have gone up by a factor of 2 since then (as they always do). However, my computer is still perfectly up to the job. I had always been impressed by the range of options offered by Gateway, and since they have a good reputation, I decided in advance to go for a Gateway. I was able to choose the system I wanted through their website, tailoring it to fit my needs. As an added bonus, ordering it through their website saved me around £35 on delivery charges. One year on, the PC is still going strong, I haven't had any major ...  Read the complete review

I bought my Performance 600 system 14 months ago after considerable research into prices/quality from published sources. The sales team ( Irish ) were charming and helpful, but not easy to get hold of to discuss optional upgrades to basic systems. However, we finally settled for the required specs and waited 2 weeks for delivery as promised. The system ws easy to connect with good basic instructions and worked without hitch immediately. Within a couple of months, we started getting problems with Windows error message ' this application has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down ' with a load of hex addresses shown, which were meaningless to ...  Read the complete review

Gateway Performance: An excellent buy!!! (184 words)

Having not bought a PC for 3 years, I decided it was time to move on to bigger and faster things. We really didn't research any of the other computer company's out there, just went ahead and bought a gateway. We really never heard anything bad about them. We are very pleased with our new computer and the speed compared to my old 200 Mhz, 2.6 Gb is beyond compare! I am also very pleased with the Boston Accoustic speakers. They sound really good. It has a superb graphics card, well capable for any of my kids games, so they are happy as well. The space is more than adequate, and I doubt we will ever fill the hard drive. That was the main problem with my old ...  Read the complete review
