I recommend: Consider the new Gateway FX530 Series desktop PC. It comes out of the box with excellent features and is highly customizable. In fact, you may even consider going for a "desktop replacement" notebook, such as one from the high-powered FX line of notebooks by Gateway.

Upgrade your current Gateway E-4300 desktop to keep it modern

If you're happy with your current E4300 model, there is no need to buy anything new. Upgrade your systems with internal hard drives, memory, video and sound cards.

I recommend: Memory Giant can supply the RAM you need and guarantee it'll work. Purchase a new Gateway widescreen LCD monitor from Circuit City for each system to give your staff a way to make better and more efficient presentations to clients and colleagues.
