Todd is correct. Getting a new hard drive is all good, but your RAM is a major issue. 2GB, almost 1 of which will be taken up by system resources with XP, is going to be a huge bottleneck and below the min requirements. 500-1000 bucks gets you a great system nowadays, and you could ebay your Gateway system parts for about 100-150 maybe. Might as well do it right and wait to get a Intel i7 w/ 64-bit Windows 7 so you can expand your memory capacity and have a more efficient OS.
