Gateway FMC-901X May 11th, 2004 | by Ian Bell

Because Gateway's FMC-901X uses a full-sized ATX motherboard, it is not dependant on integrated components such as the video card or sound card. This helps the 901X out perform Gateway's other Media Center PC, the 610 which uses an integrated ATI 9200 Radeon video adapter. CPU performance is nearly identical between the two however.
