Noticed these threads are a little old so I will run it by all of you again. Bought this Gateway FX 6840-15e, new, way back when. The motherboard is a mini I think, its about 10"x12".
I replaced the power supply with a TR2500W Thermaltake, and I put a XFX R9 270X 2GB DDR5 PCI-E graphics card in a few years back. I have tons of storage. I know I need a MB, RAM (at least 16gb), and a new processor. I use this guy as a gamer. The new "Wolfenstein" game crawls. If I can get it to run at all. I have been tinkering with PC's since the days of the "Timex Sinclair" and Radio Shacks "Color Computer". OK IM 58, I said it. I'm a BSME by trade so I love operating on these things. I don't want to throw a ton of cash into this thing. If I can get it to run my current games for somewhere under 8 Franklins that would be great. Is there any hope? Or am I dreaming.
Thanks everyone for you help!!
