Greetings. I am new to Handbooks and Linux, but am attracted to this machine because it seems to be quite an engineering marvel for its time. I understand that a 486 operating at 40Mhz and 20MB of RAM isn't much, but I understand that Linux has a reputation for being able to 'push' older hardware...

I installed XP on my friends old AMD K6 400 (256MB of RAM) and was surprised it worked although slowly. My friends were happy with it apart from there being a problem with their new Lexmark USB printer (not sure of the model, but it talks to you whilst printing). The printer keeps locking up...

Spread this far and wide. What the world would look like without Gateway tech support. This by no means is an isolated case. Since the demise of Compaq and the preceived (premature) death of Gateway, we welcome you to a near monopoly...

A friend has given me a little project to do for him (if possible) and that is to install Win95 and put Word plus Excel on this antique. I have a copy of Win95 from Gateway that has never been used but I cannot get the CD Drive to work on the laptop (floppy works). The Neon light comes on and it...

Simply, how do you determine whether a chip is high or low density? Seems no two chips have the same exact information attached to them and it is really confusing do those of us who are already confused!! Thanks, Jack -- Email no good, reply to group

Will a P4 2.4 533 work on a 400 board with PC 133 ? I don't care about the buss speed, I just want to know if I can use this cpu before I sell it.

I have a USB Dacal Disk Library - you know, a mechanical doodad where you put a disk in a slot and add the name of the disk to a database. The diskholder connects to the computer via a USB cable, you then find the disk you want be searching the software database and the unit finds it. Good idea if...

Is there any advantage to buying a new 710X in the store over ordering online and any comments regarding this model? Stan...

There was talk last August of Gateway introducing PC's with AMD64 chips when they were rolled out. Obviously that didn't happen. Now that the AMD chips are a proven success, I'm wondering if you people thought there was any chance of Gateway using them in the near future. Do you guys see a next...

I would like to buy a new computer. However, if possible, I would like to buy from a company that still has their customer service in the US. Do any companies have this anymore? Just got off being online with Gateway and they said they were in the process of moving their CS back to US. I think...

Hi Previously I posted about losing the my screen resolution going from 1024 x 768 pixels to 640 x 480 pixels quite often. It was suggested that the CMOS battery might be bad, but am still losing it after replacing the battery, the resolution will change even when just restarting the computer. I...

Just order a 530VX.. Quad Proc, the works! Does anyone know if the estimated delivery times are accurate? Mine is 5/8 ... need to make sure someone is home for delivery! Thanks!

Hi, I'm the "proud" owner of a "GATEWAY PROFILE 700 XL FOR BUSINESS" (as it says on my invoice). It's a Pentium III 700MHz Profile, with 192MB of RAM and a 20GB disk (the best I could order in 2000). My problem is, you guessed it, it needs service. Here is what happens: - Plug the power brick...

Hey people, I can get the Netgear wireless equipment for a good deal, but want to make sure it's a good enough brand. I'd hate to end up having problems just to save a buck or two. What I want to do: Be able to have complete access to my DSL internet connection on my laptop from anywhere in my...

Doesn't anyone out there have a Gateway MidTower Pentium Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz Quad Computer?

Hi everyone, Im' looking for a BIOS downgrade OR a hack for an intel mainboard, sold by gateway. The BIOS identification string (displayed on startup) is 4R4CB0XA.15A. I used to have bios version 4 (ID string 4R4CB0XA.15A.0014.P04.9810021408), which worked acceptable with a Pentium III/550 MHz...

I ordered my 710XL on Dec 28th, it came yesterday but it was the WRONG model! My sales rep does not return calls. I am sick of trying to get action. Does anyone have a secret number of some sales upper level person with the ability to get something done? Bob
