I have some ram that might fit yours 3 gig, and it 184 pin.

I just bought it, but decided on getting a new computer.

Let me know if you are interested. I will get you it cheap.

Still have the invoices too.

Why not?

Better looking vids
Porn

Ok maybe a Sound Card would be a better investment

so get that and a bigger internal hd and a 1tb external?

you dont need another internal drive that would be a waste of money. a 1tb external would be more than enough. actually looking at the prices the external usb hdd are not that bad priced.

so just choose one off this deals page that you like:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?bop=And&Submit=SubCatDeals&N=2010000414

i tend to stick with western digital for hard drives. i dont know anything about fantom but they have some good prices on them.

i dont need better looking really, i need a list of part to help me in my original post, and someone that will help me install/transfer and redo my os

if neweggs memory chooser is right that should work for your pc.

the increased memory will make everything run faster, you will be able to have a lot more windows open and not slow down.

yes external hdd to store your music/files.

reinstalling the os and the new memory will make it like a brand new computer again.

whats wrong with the sound? if its just a software issue, reinstalling xp should fix it.

yup reinstalling xp and using your gateway driver disk should solve the problem.

you have an 80gb internal hard drive (if your specs are right) with a 1Tb external drive why in the heck would you need more internal space? even if you did a lot of gaming where they install big program files you should still be good (which you dont do gaming).

 

[jtcstrat]

my guess is so i can work off the 500gb internal and it would be faster? idk they looked cheap for the amount of extra space it would give me.

My internal is got 76gb filled..

What would be my working "live" hd then? my internal

ive been building pc's for over 10 years now without a single problem. as long as you discharge yourself before working on them your fine but its safer with one.
