First the mboard contains just 2 slots, Second, Is the density PC100 or PC133 or what is it ? And if what you say is right about this then, my pc doesn't accept more than 256 MB total.

I've checked the link you gave me, crucial told that there is no availible upgrades (RAM) for GP6 - 266 with DIMM desktop. And I've called the sailer of my new RAM he told me that the 128 MB RAM stick isn't availilbe in the market and hardly gotten. In this case, my father going to change his system, I've seen Intel Core 2 Duo Processor with the mboard at decent price so, what do you think about that ?

PC100 / PC133 represents the default speed of the RAM, either 100MHz or 133MHz. Density is something totally different: What Is RAM Density? 128MB sticks of PC100 are readily available if you know where to look...are you in the US? mushkin PC100 128MB 168-Pin SDRAM Unbuffered PC 100 - $13 "If my answers frighten you then you should cease asking scary questions" - Jules Winnfield (Samuel L.

"In this case, my father going to change his system, I've seen Intel Core 2 Duo Processor with the mboard at decent price so, what do you think about that ?" Are you asking about just the CPU & board? What about all the rest of the hardware? Most of the parts out of the Gateway parts won't be compatible so you'd basically be looking at a complete rebuild. Since it's for a business, just buy a new Dell, HP, Gateway, etc & write it off as a business expense.

About the rest of the hardware I found it at reasonable price here, actually I'm not in the U.S. I'm in Kuwait and that's why I can't find good computer parts for my old pc. And, about the density I've read that topic within the link you gave me. I tried to update the BIOS of the board, I didn't find any of their updates for this board, so, Is it good to get this new build ? The new build makes price of 270 US$ here, I'll use my old CD-RW drive and the old Hard drive too, they are IDE devices so, are they compatible with the new mboard ? And anything else.. like monitor, speakers or anything that's out of the case won't be changed it's just a new pc case.

You will most likely need a new case & definitely a new power supply. Of course you'll need a new board, CPU & RAM. A video card is a possibility unless you get a board with integrated graphics. The CD-RW drive should be fine but depending on the HDD, you might wanna replace it. You'll have to reinstall Windows & you'll most likely have to upgrade to WinXP because driver support for Win98 & modern hardware is in many cases, non existent. As I said in my other response, since the PC is going to be used for a business, just buy a new prebuilt system (Dell, HP, Gateway, etc) & write it off as a business expense.

fyi http://www.irs.gov/faqs/faq-kw106.html if you are an employee (work for some company), you usually can not deduct the cost of a computer as an employee business expense on you schedule A, unless it is require by and for the convenience of your employer. from pub 529: Depreciation on Computers or Cell Phones You can claim a depreciation deduction for a computer or cell phone that you use in your work as an employee if its use is: * For the convenience of your employer, and * Required as a condition of your employment. For the convenience of your employer. This means that your use of the computer or cell phone is for a substantial business reason of your employer. You must consider all facts in making this determination. Use of your computer or cell phone during your regular working hours to carry on your employer's business is generally for the convenience of your employer. Required as a condition of your employment. This means that you cannot properly perform your duties without the computer or cell phone. Whether you can properly perform your duties without it depends on all the facts and circumstances. It is not necessary that your employer explicitly requires you to use your computer or cell phone. But neither is it enough that your employer merely states that your use of the item is a condition of your employment. there are different rules for the use of a computer in your "home office" http://www.irs.gov/publications/p52... larry

Thanks for all suggestions, I'm not an employee, anyway, I'll see for a prebuilt system with good price at Dell or HP agents here in Kuwait because, prebuilt system may be more expensive than assambled ones. Thanks again for answering.

Got A Dell prebuilt pc it's with Intel Core 2 Duo At 2.5GHz , 1GB RAM and, wireless / eithernet network, I think it will be way higher than the old one.
