"Patches a must"
Pros: Great features in one package
Cons: Media Center freezes
Summary: Media Center was plagued with a video freeze problem. The picture and sound froze approximately every five minutes when playing a DVD, a recorded TV show, or watching live TV via Media Center. I had to work (and work) with Gateway support and Cyberlink (PowerDVD) support to overcome the problem. If you get this machine, be sure to request the video driver and sound driver patches from Gateway support and the PowerDVD version 5.0 patch from Cyberlnk support. Each respective support organization can e-mail you links to do this. After applying these patches, my satisfaction with this product rose dramatically. By the way, if you want to play 5.1 surround, you have to upgrade PowerDVD. The download for this cost approximately $30.
