I have a Gateway model Lx6200-01. I need to purchase a motherboard and a processor that are compatable with this computer. The processor is an AMD Phenom X4 9500 64 bit. I read this processor is unavailable. I can not identify the motherboard. If someone could google my model #, there is a list of components that are in my computer and by this advise me what motherboard and procesor I need to purchase to keep the computer as good as orginal or better.
Any advise is appreciated Larry
 
Gateway, Dell, and HP typically use proprietary MOBOs. The on-board GPU rarely goes out. A simpler solution might b to try a new basic GPU.

The next problem, is to actually fit a MOBO - See -> http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/279849-30-dell-studio-9100

Q - What is your budget for the components?
Q - Is the TV Tuner integrated or as an add-on card?

If TV Tuner is add-on:
$148 Example {chosen < $150 + low power requirements OEM PSU + on-board ATI Radeon HD 4200 GPU} - http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.500527
