Hey folks... I'm trying to decide whether the system I have (purchased 1999)is worth upgrading, or to just say screw it and start new.
Here's what I've got:
Gateway w/ Windows 98
Motherboard: TABOR II
Processor: Pent II 450 Mhz
Memory: 128 mb 100 Mhz
Video Card: STB AGP
Floppy Drvie: 3.5
Hard drive: 14 GB EIDE
CD-Rom Drive DVD III-ROM and Phillips Recordable/Rewritable CDR
Monitor: VX900 19"
Graphics Acceleratior: nVidia 16MB AGP
I'm not a gamer. Only do occasional music downloading. My biggest problem now, I suspect, is having only Windows 98 which doesn't seem to support a lot of new software these days. Upgrading to Windows XP would help with new stuff but would it screw up everything else? My feeling is that I should start new but, not being that computer savvy, I don't really know. Any opinions will be welcome.
Thanks,
Mike
