Either call a teechnical knowledgeble person or open the cabinet and see what chipset is specified on you notherboard. If u dont understand just write down the number on the chipset of ur board and mail me. I will tell u which board it is and which drivers u require.

Am I mistaken...  Do you have this board?  But YES, it has video built-in.  But no AGP socket, so this is as good as it gets.\n\nNorth Bridge NVIDIA GeForce 6100 \nSouth Bridge NVIDIA nForce 430 \n\nBe sure to get an Athlon 64 X2/Athlon 64 FX/Athlon 64 and lots of DDR2 800 RAM.  I would get a pair of 1GB RAM modules. \n\n Take a  look at NewEgg.    $66.99\nhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813128009\n\nGood luck and Happy Computing!

Any motherboard running an Intel 915 chipset or better. There are some Intel 865 boards back on the market but they are not as good as the 915, 925, 945, 955 and 975 chipsets.\n\nMotherboards in the budget region of hte market will work as well but they will affect your performance negativly, yes i am refering to boards using the VIA and SIS chipsets (they are okay for celeron D but will also negativly affect the performance of teh already bottle necked celeron D). \n\nIf you need some thing on the cheap side for an intel pentium 4 or Celeron D then go for an Intel Grand county motherboard with an ATI xPress 200 chipset.

if its a motherboard that is relativley decent and you know the brand of the motherboard itself, I would suggest visiting the manufacturer's website.  Most of the websites for manufacturers will have more information on the product including online manuals.  You may find more there.

it depends on the motherboard, the Pll looks the same as the AMD, but won't work. slot A only works with the processor designed for that motherboard. No others.

Below is a link to Newegg.com  and ZipZoomFly.com motherboards.  Both websites are very good.  ZipZoomFly usually has free 2nd day shipping.

Probably the best and safest thing to do is get an exact match.  You will likely have to resort to eBay or a similar site.  Dell has used proprietary power supplies and/or power connectors in the past, so you risk frying your new motherboard by putting in a standard ATX bought somewhere else.

You can go to www.driverguide.com, sign up for free and search for the driver that you need.\n\nAnother way, (if it is built in) is to get your motherboard model and look for the its sites to download the driver that you need.

Covering the basics you will need an ATX case, Power Supply then the motherboard, processor and well, everything else you listed.  I'll get to the memory and Tuner Card in a second.  You didn't say what type of processor you wanted AMD or Intel, either way I recommend an Athlon 64 at least 3200+ or better which would require a Socket 939 motherboard.  Since I too am building a system I will give you the components I selected (I already have a GPU and memory so those are not in the list).\n\nCase, Thermaltake V7000C, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811133134\nProcessor, AMD Athlon 64 3700+, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819103539\nPower Supply, 500W DynaPower, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817255010\nMotherboard, Gigabyte GA-K8U, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813128307\n\nSince the motherboard I have selected does not have an integrated graphics chip you will either need a GPU or a GPU/TV-Tuner card combo and since you aren't playing games you don't need to spend too much in this area.  I would go with a cheap GPU and a TV-Tuner card, you will need that to connect your VCR or at the very least a capture card.\n\nInstead of having one 500GB hard drive, I would go with two 250GB drives as that offers you some redundancy and you can use one for backups if you so choose.  As far as the CD and DVD drives go, get one that's cheap, reliable and will match the case and since black will suit that blue case nicely... get black drives.\n\nI think you are going to spend A LOT on memory as you will need to buy either PC2700 or PC3200 in 1GB sticks and that will not be cheap.  I don't know why you want 4GB of memory as that is overkill for even the most dedicated gamer and you aren't even going to play games but to each his own.\n\nFrom the parts I listed and you can find everything else you need there too, just sort by price for each thing you want and make sure the item has favorable reviews.  Also, if you have ANY problems at all, such as a DOA (dead on arrival part) as happens sometimes, Newegg will send you out a new part usually within 24 hours.  That's why I buy from Newegg, second to none customer service.

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.

Depends on how much money you are talking.\nFor video get a 7XXX series Nvidia card such as a 7900GT\n2 Gigs of RAM preferable. PC3200 is the most common. If you plan to overclock get PC3500 or higher.\nDual core AMD processor \nASUS A8N-SLI board is good. Also might check into DFI board if you like overclocking\nA really good hard drive I have found is the 320GB WD SATAII drive with 16MB cache. Very fast transfer rates..almost as much as the WD Raptor.\nMake sure you get at least a 450W power suply. Supporting SATA plugs and PCI-E plugs also.\n\nCheck out http://www.newegg.com for good prices and tons of user review.\nhttp://www.tomshardware.com for other reviews\n\nJust do your homework. You will find which components are the best rated for gaming and most often used. It might take a month or so at the most to research,,not a couple of years lol. COnsidering that a computer is considered "obsolete" in a year or two, thats silly.\n\nIf you do end up getting store made, http://www.cyberpowerpc.com has some nice configurations
