I've been looking at the features of the Gateway 400SP Plus. When I click the customize button at the Gateway website, and scroll down to the memory options, I've noticed the maximum RAM Gateway will install for you is 512MB. I realize its a laptop, but I thought the newer models could handle...

Hello. What fax program are the latest Gateway computers using? Does it perform well? I'm still working with the old (but generally reliable) MegaPhone 3.0 with my G6-450.

Will Intel release the Pentium 5 processor this year? I'm assuming there will be a P5 eventually.

Hello: I have two hard drives on my computer. One with xp pro(ntfs) and one drive formatted with two partitions(one xp pro ntfs, and one partition win me fat32) The partition using win xp on the partitioned drive will not boot up. After starting computer and coming to where the computer asking...

Is there a way of checking my monitor for a problem? After it is on for awhile it has a frying sound and sometimes shuts down and I have to reboot the computer to get it to come on again. Nancy

I called GW tech support because my new 400 SP Plus notebook won't play any sound when booting up or shutting down. All sounds work under Control Panel/Sounds and when playing CD's, DVD's. etc. GW had me reload the sound card drivers, with no change. They suggested going back to the original...

All new Gateway computers come with 6 months free of AOL service. It used to be a year. Anyway, from comments I've read on other PC-related newsgroups, AOL software is regarded as almost a virus. At the very least, I constantly read stories about how it will corrupt your computer system. Are...

Hello Gateway group. I have three quick questions about laptops and batteries. 1) When you plug-in and unplug the AC adapter for laptops, do you need to turn the computer off first? I thought there might be some safety issues here. 2) It is my understanding that when the AC adapter is...

I ran into this same problem with a friend's computer. Frequent disconnects, one ISP was much more reliable than another. The cause of the problem: on the back of the computer, the phone line was plugged in to "Telephone" instead of "Line-in." Most modems will not work at all if you plug them in...

I have a Gateway 2000 17" Crystalscan monitor I purchased at a computer fair. Each time I boot my computer, the adjustment screen is shown allowing me to make screen adjustments to my monitor, if I wait about ten seconds or so, the screen will go away. I would like to stop this screen...

Hi all, I enjoy taking the lap top outdoors on a deck but have trouble sometimes seeing the screen in the light of day. Does anyone have any experiences with a model that has a brighter than normal screen or what do other people do (just squint a lot)?? Thanks

Hi, My 700x purchased March 02 is out of warranty. I was blowing out the dust and noticed that one of the two clips holding the heatsink had broken in two and fallen to the bottom of the computer. I want to replace the whole heatsink but the cradle (part that heatsink sits on) seems to be different...

When looking at Intel's motherboards and chips, I find that some motherboards say the take a mPGA 478 chip while other state the 478 chip . Is this significant?

I know many Gateway customers use AOL because it comes free for a few months with a new computer. So, some of you might be interested to see a sneak peak at version 9, which will be released sometime later this year: http://www.cnet.com/internet/0-3762-8-21325375-1.html

Last night the kids told me their PC's screen started going blank with no keyboard reaction so there was nothing they could do but a hard power off. When I pressed the power button the machine went through it's usual BIOS check, after that completes I received a black screen with the...

I have an old P3C that I would like to take apart to possibly switch the cpu. Does anyone have any experience taking apart this laptop who could give me some pointers. I'm sure hammers and chisels are not required.g

I am planning on building a new PC (can no longer buy a new Gateway in the UK) using the components below. I would like to ask whether it is very easy to damage the P4 processor when fitting the heatsink? Any tips from those that have fitted one? Any general comments about the spec? I will...
