Everyone agrees this is a pointless thread. And what do you mean too slow, for me too slow is taking over 1 minute to create a new file, anything else I can cope with.

This thread is pointless...
Gateway computers slow?
If a slow computer can consist of 2GB/ram 256MB/videocard 3GHz+/proccessor etc....... then I would agree. I think you meant "your" gateway computer is slow.

Or maybe the topic starter dosen't know how to use his computer...

I've never understood why people blame computer maker brands before computer hardware brands...

I have a Gateway and it runs fine, but when I get some money I'm going to build a computer.

More like BT who haven't bothered to put in the broadband lines yet. And anyway, only something like 17% of the UK population gets & can use broadband...

(They say all this '70% coverage' stuff, which is crap. Yes, the lines go that far, but a lot of the time you get this 'You're too far away!' or 'The line quality isn't good enough' .... crap.)

Damned BT. And my Nan would probably use Broadband if there was a decent pay-as-you-go provider in her area.

[Edit] And there's no reason to have a 140-odd KB avatar!! Resize it down to the forum limits, 50x50, and it'd probably be less than 10K as a JPEG.[/edit]

One of my home computers is an old gateway (maybe 3-4 years old) and it runs perfectly fine for being a 1.7ghz machine, and I believe the current uptime on it is around 2 months without being restarted. In the past it only restarted for microsoft updates and power outages (if any).

If you hate Gateway computers, you must hate all computers, they are all very much alike, just a different brand.

Thanks

No, everywhere still doesn't have broadband. Shamming people with 56k should be shamed.
