OK. I'll see what hubby wants to do or not do :-) Thank you again!! :-)

ok. but before that happens, i wanted to let you know, my question about "what to look for" was in a NEW computer. I just wanted to clarify that. Thanks again.!!

I like HP too. This computer I have now is the first Gateway one I have ever owned. I'll see if the husband wants to build one or just buy a new one!! :-) I'll save all the links from both of you so he can see what he will need. Thank you for all the help!! It is very much appreciated!!

I'm so frustrated with it right now. My birthday is this weekend so I think I'm just gonna ask for a new one!! Sounds like it could be just about anything!! By the time I finish upgrading everything it will be at about the same price as a new tower!! I'm not to crazy about sticking things where...

I tried to click the first link but it didnt bring anything up. I just updated the memory to 4GB.

OK. The System Fan speed is 119 rpm, cpu fan speed is 2566 rpm and the system temp is 40. My husband is who will be doing the installs, he does the hardware, I do the software.

OK. Going to check.

rds1220: I did that before I looked into any kind of upgrades. As for the BIOS, could you tell me how to do that? I'm good with computer programming, not the hardware portion. geekapproved: There is NOTHING I can upgrade to? I'm not looking for top quality, just something a little better then...
