9. Gateway DX4200-UB001A
Editors' rating: 7.8
The good: Best overall system in its price range; 64-bit Windows Vista aids memory efficiency; largest hard drive at this price
The bad: More RAM than is immediately worthwhile.
The bottom line: We can forgive Gateway for cramming the DX4200 with more memory than it needs simply because its specs and overall performance are the best in its price class. Of the various do-it-all lower midrange PCs out there, this one gets our nod.
