Can I upgrade to a new motherboard?

Wow. So the main thing to note about this board is that it takes DDR2 memory, so if you don't currently have that you will need to get it to be compatible. I would say you would need at least a 450W power supply. If you have less than that now, upgrade. This is also a PCI-Express board, so make sure you have a compatible video card too.

It's very dangerous if you don,t know wath you do. You need to  go on your bios to upgrade it. But make sure is that you realy need. If there is a pan of electricity in the time you do it, you will need another pc with the same chipset to arrange that.

If you replace the motherboard you are basically replacing the parts that make it a Gateway. The bios is what holds the gateway info. and that will go with the mobo.You should be able to use most of your cards,modems video cards (if it has any they may be  onboard in which case you will need to buy a graphics card) Your memory will work on other mobo's but they need to support the same type of memory. Hard drives and other drives will plug in but it will probablynot run your old hard drive with the new bios.You will have to format and reinstall your os. and finally you need to make sure you get a mobo that takes your processor. Socket A Socket 7 or Pentium, so you have to know all of these things . Good Luck.

Not much, I bet! You can't maximize the dual-processor capability if you are just using windows xp unless you are planning to install a windows server software. \n\nBesides, a motherboard with dual-processor capability is much more expensive than an ordinary m/board. You might need a new CPU case as well to fit the dual-processor board.

Yes you can do that IF this mainboard do support LGA CPUs\nMost of LGA Mainboards do support all LGA CPUs\n\nXLMan

You would need a new system. Your motherboard most probably does not use SATA.  By a new system I mean new motherboard, hard drive, memory, and of course CPU. All the other stuff you can simply transfer over, like cd or dvd drives, video & sound cards. Most of the new comps can handle up to 2gigs of DDR Ram. It might be a good idea to invest in a new system that is Microsoft Vista ready.

you should be able to go to your mobo manufacture website, tell them what you have and ask them to send you a new one. may cost a little but not too bad.

No The DDR ram is for the new ones and is not compatable with the old motherboards

first of all, you need to make sure you get a processor that is compatible with your motherboard, and will work on it. the changing is easy, hardware wise, but it depends on the type processor you are changing, they remove in slightly different way, you computer manual or online supposrt will tell you haow to change it in your computer, if your board is plug and play, it will detct your processor and set it up, if not you will have to find teh settings and set them for your board, older boards you have to set clock speed, bus speed and voltage, depending on the upgrade you are doing, you may have to flash the bios to a newer version. Your best bet is to get the manual for your motherboard online, so you have the info you need. it is not all that easy for an amatuer, do it wrong and fry the processor

It really depends on what the motherboard will take, rather than the CPU.  The best thing to do is get the computer brand and model, or the motherboard brand and model and call a company who specializes in memory upgrades.  I've had good experience with www.BuyMemory.com.  They will help find the memory you need and are super cheap.

You just have to make sure that your new motherboard will fit into all the screwholes, ports, cards that are available for your HP, as well as the CPU that you already have.  For example, if you're using an AMD Socket 939 board, then your replacement board will have to be Socket 939-type as well, or your AMD CPU will never fit in.\n\nFurther, it will not make much difference if you upgrade the motherboard only.  To make your comp faster, you'll also have to replace the CPU.  In this case, you can choose any type of motherboard as long as it will fit into the case properly.

Go to Majorgeeks.com and look for your upgrade program and download it for free. I can promise that you will find your answer there.

First, it's 128 MB memory, but 16 meg is being shared for video. \n\nUpgrades of your system memory depend exclusively on your motherboard, so check your board's owners guide or the board manufacturer's web site for the total amount you can upgrade to.

It all depends on the motherboard. Do you know what model number the motherboard is? How about contacting me? A lot easier to explain.\n\nNot true, Man. Some components like the processor and video card he mentions, will have to start with motherboard.

each motherboard manufacturer has it way to upgrade the Bois ,some use the bois it self to do the operation ( by enter the Bios setting and from it u can browse the new bios image which is BIN file ,or some manufacterer us a windows based program to do the operation\nAnd you need to upgrade the bois for different reason ( fix a bug is the old version ,support new CPUs ,increase the motherboard stability and reliability

it will work only if you know how to underclock. my suggestion is to buy a new motherboard and start from scratch. since you allreay have a box then upgrading is easy. you need to price what you want to upgrade to by going to newegg.com or computergeeks.com. compare prices and maybe even upgrade your box. prices for complete systems run around 400$-1000$ depending on what you want.good hunting\nand its not recommended to upgrade a pc with a new cpu that runs faster than what the board can handle.you will eventualy run into more problems than its worth.\nbe sure to stick with a ddr(ram) board.\n\nand for the record,you can get cheap hardware and software from these two sites.\n\nThe MaddMann\n\nps:here is a bare bones system that you put together:\nhttp://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=J-S775KIT-K10&cat=BBK
