      You shouldn't lose any of your upgraded hardware either. I don't usually upgrade my gateway b/c
      1. Its expensive.
      2. I can make do on a slow computer for now (I'm pretty fast.)

      I just bounce my calls a bunch of times, and compromise a few sysems beforehand (get admin access). It's really easy to get admin on the International Student Database, at least for a while (its not permanent).

      I'm still on my 1st (unupgraded) gateway, and I hack the Social Security Database all the time.
      I guess I'm kind of a nOOb (I'v only had uplink for about a week). Ah well...

      You'll quickly find with the later missions that you NEED the required memory and processing speed to complete the necessary tasks. It's a bunch more fun as well!

      It's good because important software like Monitor, Proxy, and Firewall Bypassers v. 5.0 are very important. It would be terrible to buy these again every time you bought a new gateway. It would make buying hardware upgrades useless until you got a gateway you would stay with.

      I know, but until I get to level 6 missions, I never upgrade. I just get nice software and compromise servers.

      i usually buy a processor upgrade to 200 and get the bypassers before i up my gateway, and from there i tend to up it straight to a trinity, but that's just me. Since one you got the bypassers you can rob banks, of course.
