Gateway will be one of the first PC makers to put quad-core desktops on retail shelves. The company announced April 30 deals with Best Buy, Circuit City Stores and CompUSA to sell its FX series at stores nationwide.

The deal also includes sales of Gateways Portable Media Drive Kit, which includes a 120GB PATA hard drive.
