Re: old gateway computer windows 98
FWIW, my computer is also a Gateway that I bought when I worked there. I got
it in April or May of 2000. I've added a secondary hard drive, maxed out my
RAM, and I am now running Win XP. I still only have the original graphics
card but that's because I'm okay with what I have. I was just given a DVD
burner and want to install it tomorrow night.
Depending on your situation, popping a new graphics card into your computer
isn't a huge venture, financial or otherwise. But since you said it's been a
year, maybe it is time to have a bit of fun and take a sledge hammer to it.
We've all wanted to do that from time to time. ;-)

Charge 50 a slam and invite all of your friends. And if you happen to be in
my neck of the woods, I'll bring a $5 bill! ;-)
