Gateway FX542X Cpu
The speed of your unit has a lot to do witht the speed and type of CPU installed in the system. Your desktop CPU is the primary component that processes data that the software uses. Installing a new CPU can be tricky for even a professional, as there are a plethora of things that could go wrong. In order to replace the old processor with a new CPU in your Gateway system, do some research as to how to do it properly so you do not damage the replacement CPU. You should make sure you are going to replace a bad piece of hardware that is giving you trouble, as a CPU rarely goes out unless it was overused or overclocked.
