The Gateway E-4000 series are a range of discontinued desktop tower PCs manufactured by Gateway Incorporated. The advantage of the E-4000 series was they were compact machines, with easy-to-swap-out drives and a low price when compared to other machines in their market at the time. These PCs were designed for office work, with the series originally marketed as corporate desktop computers and shipped with the Windows XP operating system.
Processor and Memory
The Gateway E-4000 series used an Intel Pentium 4 processor and could have up to 2 GB of DDR SDRAM installed in the two available SDRAM bays.
Video
The machine came with an Intel integrated graphics chip that had 64 MB of shared memory. There is an AGP and three PCI slots for expansion, but due to the size of the case, you could only plug in half-height cards such as the Nvidia GeForce 2 MX200, which Gateway offered as an upgrade.
Storage
A 40 GB hard drive came standard with the PC, although an additional bay for a second hard drive meant more storage space could be added. A 3.5-inch floppy disk drive also provided removable storage options for small files.
Optical Media
A CD-ROM drive with a 48x read speed allowed applications and files to run from CDs.
