This system will need upgrades. If you plan to use it for simple uses such as, browsing the internet, playing simple games, downloading music (not a lot of music), typing word documents, and sending e-mails. If so, this system would be sufficient.

This system will definately need a memory upgrade. 128MB is not enoguh memory to function properly. This is a basic stock model system. If you are looking to do anything fancy or at a fast pase, this is not the system for you.

Gateway technical support (1-800-846-2301) would be more than happy to assist you with upgrading the system, all you need to provide them with is the serial number for the machine (located at the back of the tower).

The sound is integrated, but upgradeable with a standard PCI soundcard. You would also be able to upgrade the video card in the same fashion.

Overall, for the system, the quality and price match. It should only be used for basic tasks and is worth it if you want a basic machine. Also make sure that you check the warranty on the machine. Be sure that if it is advanced technical support that you want, Gateway provides Answers By Gateway for a fee.
