2003 Gateway PC Restoration - Pentium 4: part 1 featuring the Sony GDM C520 📺 Retro Tech
Channel: Retro Tech
Date: 22/06/2021

Today I have a Windows XP based Gateway Tower Personal Computer.  The CPU is a 2.4 Ghz Intel Pentium 4 Processor.  The GPU is a ATI Sapphire RADEON 9600 256mb edition capable of speeds up to 400mhz and supports DirectX 9.

I bought this PC from a Gateway Store in Late 2002.  It was my college PC.  It has been in storage for over a decade, and It's filthy.
