My March 2002 Gateway 700x desktop has two 256 MB memory modules. I see on eBay, I can buy two 512MN DDR-400 for Gateway 2.8 GHz memory RAM for a reasonable price. I see that my 700x has a 2.0 GHz chip. Should this make a difference? I want to add the two 512MB modules to the existing 2ea 256 MB...

I tried to install a hard drive on a friends Gateway today (Pentium III 550 64MB RAM about 4.5 years old) and had a few problems. I only had a short time to do it and will go back tomorrow when I have more time. I think the PC had a controller card (Promise) and an existing 10GB drive. I checked...

Does any out there have a GW 5478 with Win XP Pro installed. I'm having a hell of a time installing XP Pro slipstreamed version. After it reads my floppy with IaStor.sys I get the error codes as described in my previous post. Obviously I'm using the wrong drivers but am still at a loss as to...

I purchased a GM5424 duo-core desktop last month which came stock with 2GB of RAM and a nVidia 7300LE card with 64 MB onboard RAM and up to 256 MB shared memory. I replaced the video card with a nVidia 7600GT with 512MB of RAM and two additional dual 1GB memory sticks from Micron. When I look...

My GW Select 1000 pc AMD 2001 Motherboard has an AGP slot rated up to 4x which currently holds my old NVidia Vanta card. I just ordered a new GeForce FX5200 video card which can run at AGP 8x. This card, despite its faster 8x spec rating , will run in my AGP 4x slot, wont it? Incidentally, I...

My Gateway E-3200 desktop has an AGP slot on the motherboard, but there's no corresponding knockout on the back of the computer for the card to fit flush with the outside. I have an Apollo 5200 video card with DVI. It's a standard AGP card. It's obvious it won't fit, because the E-3200 is a...

Hi, I bet there are some ALR Quad6 zealots in this newsgroup... Here's my problem: My Quad6 started to act up today. When it boots, it first displays CPU = Pentium ??? Mhz Then:

I just stumbled upon an alternate support site for Gateway system information. Most of it echos the Gateway site documentation but there is additional info you can get about your system. When I went to my motherboard page for my FX530S system, there were links for a cool web menu simulation of the...
