Search www.ebay.com.  If you search for the exact model you might find someone selling one that has a trashed LCD and you can swap the motherboards.

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.

Hello:\n\nYour existing Mother board may be satisfactory at \nsome higher speeds. You may find this information out\nby downloading SISoft Sandra 2002 free off the internet.\nWhen it is installed, do a scan of your computer and \ndetermine what the system motherboard is exactly. Then,\nyou can do searches on the internet for the details on that motherboard and what its maximum CPU capability is.\n\nWith that information in hand, you can go to TigerDirect dot com and look for an upgrade chip that will produce the desired increased speed result.  In some cases that upgrade might require you to also install faster memory which might be an additional cost.\n\nNow, with that information in hand you can move to searching for a new MotherBoard. First, the new motherboard must be compatible with the Case Style of your existing computer. That means your new board must have the same mounting holes and connector placements as your old board. So you will have to find out what style board you have now. The site where you research info on your existing board will have that information.\n\nSecond, the new board you select will not do much good without being equipped with a new high speed CPU and Fan assembly. Look for one that is a great deal faster than your old system so that you can wind up with a big improvement. You will need new RAM Memory for this \nfaster system. Get as much memory as you can afford. You can always go back later and purchase additional RAM to speed up your system operation.\n\nHard Disk Drives have dropped in price and expanded in storage capabilities. So, you might want to also check out adding a new hard disk drive...100 Gig or 200 Gig drives are not uncommon these days.\n\nOh, one other little trick you might want to investigate is a front panel module which lets you insert memory sticks from cameras, mp3 player cables, or portable memory devices. Those panels are pretty cheap and add new capabilities to your system that you have not had before. It is really crummy to have to plug these things into the back of a computer box. Why not have the jacks or slots mounted right on the front of the computer where you sit? that makes much more sense.\n\nLook for a knowledgeable computer tech near you to assist with all these changes.\n\nHave a good day.\nZah

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.

You would need to get a hold of Gateway...but I am sure they would not be of much help. All their motherboards are proprietary and only work with special memory, power supplies and cases.\nYou cannot upgrade it...do yourself a favor and get a new computer.\nI was working on a piece of junk Gateway Performance model from the year 2000. After the hard drive and CD burner went out and were replaced, the power supply went out and it ended up that the damn motherboard literally went up in smoke. \n\nAlso if you want to upgrade in the future get a computer that will allow you to with standard components.

Unfortunately this computer is so old, that even the case itself and power supply will not be compatible with new parts.\n\nAlso, it will be cheaper to buy a new computer.  If you don't need lots of tech support, then get a computer cheaply from http://www.pricewatch.com \n\nThere are lots of system builders out there that will sell you a basic computer with Windows XP Home or Pro for a pretty reasonable price.\n\nWhen getting a new computer:  Pay a little more (not too much more)  and get one with 512MB RAM, SATA Harddrive  (It will say SATA...if it doesn't say Serial ATA or SATA, then it isn't SATA).\n\nIf you aren't going to use it for games, then you don't really have to worry much about the video card.

NewEgg list two PCI FX5500s, at $54 and $78.\nI recommend that you opt for the 128-bit $78 3DFuzion model - although it is currently out of stock...\n\nA motherboard from before AGP times!  The processor might not be upto playing COD - you should give serious thought to a total upgrade.  For $112 you could source a Foxconn SoA motherboard, Sempron 2400+ CPU and 256Mb DDR400 RAM.\nThen $78 could buy you a 9600XT - but if you had the money - there would be much more choice!\n\n(AGP) comparisons of older cards:\nhttp://www.tomshardware.co.uk/2003/12/29/vga_charts_iii/page16.html

Any amount, well that exist on the market. It just has to be compatible with the motherboard (have the same connection).
