I remember years ago we had two computers in particular. We had a 120mhz (that cost like, $4,000, haha) and later a 300mhz. Those things went so far above and beyond the call of duty it was insane. They were so beat up by the time we retired them it was a wonder they even turned on. But they did. I also have a couple of family members with Gateway laptops that are great, too.

So seriously, man. Don't grill.]]>Jan 30th 2008 1:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/30/gateways-new-gm5664-desktop-does-blu-ray-and-hd-dvd-has-kid-br/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/30/gateways-new-gm5664-desktop-does-blu-ray-and-hd-dvd-has-kid-br/Jan 30th 2008 2:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/30/gateways-new-gm5664-desktop-does-blu-ray-and-hd-dvd-has-kid-br/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/30/gateways-new-gm5664-desktop-does-blu-ray-and-hd-dvd-has-kid-br/Jan 30th 2008 11:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/30/gateways-new-gm5664-desktop-does-blu-ray-and-hd-dvd-has-kid-br/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/30/gateways-new-gm5664-desktop-does-blu-ray-and-hd-dvd-has-kid-br/Jan 30th 2008 11:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/30/gateways-new-gm5664-desktop-does-blu-ray-and-hd-dvd-has-kid-br/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/30/gateways-new-gm5664-desktop-does-blu-ray-and-hd-dvd-has-kid-br/Jan 30th 2008 11:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/30/gateways-new-gm5664-desktop-does-blu-ray-and-hd-dvd-has-kid-br/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/30/gateways-new-gm5664-desktop-does-blu-ray-and-hd-dvd-has-kid-br/Jan 30th 2008 11:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/30/gateways-new-gm5664-desktop-does-blu-ray-and-hd-dvd-has-kid-br/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/30/gateways-new-gm5664-desktop-does-blu-ray-and-hd-dvd-has-kid-br/Jan 30th 2008 12:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/30/gateways-new-gm5664-desktop-does-blu-ray-and-hd-dvd-has-kid-br/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/30/gateways-new-gm5664-desktop-does-blu-ray-and-hd-dvd-has-kid-br/
Now the funny part. I work at best buy and the 5662's we got seem to be completely bad. We got 3. Out of the 3, 2 of them won't identify any usb devices or new harddrives. It says it can't find the drivers. For example we plugged in a flash drive and it couldn't load it. The one other won't would freeze up whenever we put in a cd. on all 3 we found out the os was corrupt but nothing we could do could uncorrupt it. Even the recovery cds it comes with were corrupt. I'm curious if anyone else is having these problems. The 5664 has not given us any problems yet.]]>Jan 30th 2008 12:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/30/gateways-new-gm5664-desktop-does-blu-ray-and-hd-dvd-has-kid-br/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/30/gateways-new-gm5664-desktop-does-blu-ray-and-hd-dvd-has-kid-br/Feb 13th 2008 5:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/30/gateways-new-gm5664-desktop-does-blu-ray-and-hd-dvd-has-kid-br/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/30/gateways-new-gm5664-desktop-does-blu-ray-and-hd-dvd-has-kid-br/
It goes 64mb -> 128mb -> 256mb -> 512mb -> 1024mb -> 2048mb -> 3072mb

Do you see what has happened in that little RoadMap.]]>Jan 30th 2008 11:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/30/gateways-new-gm5664-desktop-does-blu-ray-and-hd-dvd-has-kid-br/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/30/gateways-new-gm5664-desktop-does-blu-ray-and-hd-dvd-has-kid-br/Jan 30th 2008 11:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/30/gateways-new-gm5664-desktop-does-blu-ray-and-hd-dvd-has-kid-br/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/30/gateways-new-gm5664-desktop-does-blu-ray-and-hd-dvd-has-kid-br/Jan 30th 2008 1:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/30/gateways-new-gm5664-desktop-does-blu-ray-and-hd-dvd-has-kid-br/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/30/gateways-new-gm5664-desktop-does-blu-ray-and-hd-dvd-has-kid-br/
By the end of '08 they will have to make the switch as they will have to install 4gb of RAM, and a 64bit OS is the only way to do that.

I remember buying a PC a few years ago boasting about the 64bit processor in it, but with XP x86, why boast about a feature that you can't use?]]>Jan 30th 2008 1:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/30/gateways-new-gm5664-desktop-does-blu-ray-and-hd-dvd-has-kid-br/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/30/gateways-new-gm5664-desktop-does-blu-ray-and-hd-dvd-has-kid-br/Jan 30th 2008 11:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/30/gateways-new-gm5664-desktop-does-blu-ray-and-hd-dvd-has-kid-br/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/30/gateways-new-gm5664-desktop-does-blu-ray-and-hd-dvd-has-kid-br/Jan 30th 2008 12:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/30/gateways-new-gm5664-desktop-does-blu-ray-and-hd-dvd-has-kid-br/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/30/gateways-new-gm5664-desktop-does-blu-ray-and-hd-dvd-has-kid-br/Jan 30th 2008 4:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/30/gateways-new-gm5664-desktop-does-blu-ray-and-hd-dvd-has-kid-br/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/30/gateways-new-gm5664-desktop-does-blu-ray-and-hd-dvd-has-kid-br/Jan 30th 2008 1:57PM
