I just bought a Gateway 610x Media Center which is a comp/tv. It has Windows Media Center as it's OS. It's on it's way within a week or so, I was just wondering if anybody had any ideas about what the computer is like. Is it a bad buy? Did anyone have problems with it? Is it best to just sell it back on Ebay? Thanks for any feedback. 2.6 GHz Pentium 4, 512 MB RAM, 120 GB Hard Drive, DVD-CD/RW Combo Drive are some of the specs on it. (Plus ATI Radeon 128 MB 9200)

This depends on what you want to use it for. It is probably using AGP video and that is on its way out. If you start recording TV show to the computer the HD will be used up quickly. Anything else it is pretty good for a couple of years. It won't play the latest games well. This puter is limited in any upgrades you can do.
