Hi, Newb here need help

[ojhk]

I have an older model Gateway computer that has the fallowing:
Windows 98, Pentium II Processor, Intell MMX Technology, 192 MB of Ram (org. had I think 128 MB Ram), Creative Sound Blaster Audio PCI 64D.
What would everyone recoment for me to get so that I can update it and do some gaming on? I have never built a computer and have know idea what I need or should get.


P.S. I am on a tight budget

A complete new setup. You will get nowhere with a slot 1 motherboard. What is your budget?

 

[ojhk]

Well can you or anyone help me select the correct one?

 

[SHAWN]

Again, what is your budget?

 

[ojhk]

around $5 or $600.

 

[SHAWN]

Do you need a monitor or just the PC?

 

[ojhk]

just the PC. Do you have a messanger service that I can IM you at?

 

[SHAWN]

I do but I am at work. I will get shot if I use it. ssshhh. Ill put something together later and post unless someone else gets here.

 

[ojhk]

ok, Thank you, that sounds like a bet when would I beable to reach you on AIM?
