I have an old Gateway E-3600 whose motherboard is fried. I'd like to use the system's chassis and existing drives, but upgrade the motherboard (and subsequently the processor and RAM, too). However, I'm not sure where to begin looking for specific components that will work inside of this machine.

Computers are changing so fast and the software as well so it makes what we buy today out of date very soon. I used the old machine five years and now have had this one one year and find this one can use some updating already.

I currently have a computer with the current specs, 1 GB (2X512MB) DDR 400 RAM, AMD 64 3200 (Socket 939), an ATI X600 (256MB). Unfortunately it is an NEC computer with their motherboard and an ATI chipset.

I want to upgrade to an X2 4200 or better and eventually an Nvidia 8800 GTS. Are there are any barriers to me doing this as it is a computer produced by NEC?

I'm finding my machine simply can't hack it on games like Call of Duty 2 (it only runs smoothly at 800x600 and I have a 19 inch monitor). Please help.

Chipset: Intel 845GV chipset
Videocard: Integrated Intel Extreme graphics

CDROM: Hitachi 48X CD-ROM drive

Obviously there is no hard drive..I just want to get rid of them...

i left winamp running over night. usually fall asleep to it. when i woke up in the morning my moniter had power showed the "self test" screen. my computer was still running though. lost video to the moniter. what would cause this. previouse computer would have no probs with this for over 2 years. i installed a new mobo/cpu and power supply and since then i had to reformat windows a couple times. got the BSOD. just recently reformatted it.


so techs whats it sound like to you? a crappy mobo? processor over heating? ram issues? hd issues?
