Gateway FX540 Delivers the “woot” Factor

Featuring the horsepower and technology to deliver a superior computing experience, the Gateway FX540 is the perfect desktop for extreme gaming, digital photography, video editing or managing large amounts of data, such as music and photo libraries.

“Recently crowned ‘word of the year’ by Merriam-Webster, woot is an expression of joy coined by online gamers,” said Jystad. “If any product is worthy of a woot, it’s the blazingly fast Gateway FX540 and its leading technologies.”

Gaming enthusiasts can play the most advanced games on high-resolution displays without sacrificing performance or breaking the bank. The FX540 brings several new leading technologies to the FX line, including:

• an NVIDIA SLI-capable motherboard
• dual PCIe x16 slots with SLI support
• the ability to run dual NVIDIA 8800 GT/GTX factory limited warranted⁽⁴⁾ over-clocked video cards in SLI mode for the maximum performance
• support for 800MHz memory standard on select systems
• and dual Gigabit Ethernet for maximum online gaming performance

As an SLI-Ready PC, the FX540’s NVIDIA nForce SLI motherboard and SLI-Ready graphics card give it the ability to be upgraded with a second graphics card. No other PC component upgrade can offer even close to the gaming performance boost gained from adding this second card. Gateway will offer several configurations, including a factory limited warranted⁽⁴⁾ overclocked model. Furthering its appeal, the FX540 includes dual Gigabit Ethernet ports to eliminate network bottlenecks and improve performance when gaming online.

Last but not least, the Gateway FX540 Series includes a 700 watt power supply, ensuring it can support any additional high-performance hardware or future expansion requirements.
