- I just had to give my own input to this question...
-
- G2000 had more problems back a few years ago, and lately we have not
- had any hardware problems, until last week. This new 486 DX2 50E came
- with a 256k RAM video board. This means that Windows hangs everytime
- you try to do something graphics intensive. Although Gateway mentioned
- that NO PC has anything less than a 1Meg video card on it, it is possible
- that one came faulty.
-
- As for their support lines, waiting 2 days to get through is not
- an exaggeration. Actually, it didn't bother me because they happened
- to be playing a rather nice CD on the phone while I waited. It was
- Vivaldi's four seasons... I got to listen to at least 2 of them!
