Sticklers for accuracy will complain that the system we tested, with a RAID 0 pair of Raptors, is no longer available on Gateway's FX530XT configuration pages. We're stuck on accuracy as well, but have no other testing option than to use what the company provided. Buyers who really want the exact system we've tested should contact their Gateway sales person with a request.
