Are you sure about this? The sales person from Gateway that I talked
to said the 486DX-33 had the video board on the local bus but not the
disk. THe 486DX-33V had both on the local bus.

It took 2 days to get a call back. I own a Gateway 386DX-33 which I've had for
1.5 years and it's been great. I haven't had to call for support of
any kind probably because the components are so good. I am a little
concerned about how busy Gateway is getting, though. I may buy my system
locally just due to concerns about getting support. If you can't even
get through to the sales people what is support going to be like?
There's no question in my mind that they have good components.
