Hi I have an eMachines 3260, and I'm trying to identify the motherboard (ideally without opening the case - it's in an awkward place and used almost all the time). I found out once from emachineupgraders.info, but I didn't make a note at the time and now their site seems to have disappeared and...

Hey Bill on your MX6124, how much video memory does it say you have in your BIOS? Thanks, Mike

Has anyone with an FX-series machine and an Audigy 4 soundcard had a problem with Flash audio (audio only, movies, animation, anything Flash)? I have an FX510X with 2.4 Ghz Core 2, and a couple of Gig of RAM. Nothing special Problem is that when playing any kind of Flash file with audio...

I bought an E6610 a few days ago. I had it configured with a single 80GB SATA hard drive and planned to install three 320GB SATA drives in order to re-configure it as a single system drive, a pair of RAID-1 data drives and a backup drive. I thought this would be straightforward, but, of course,...

XP won't start and before I restore the system, I would like to remove the hard drive, backup the files and then reinstall it. I haven't had any luck accessing the hard drive. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I recently went to Gateways site to look up my notebook battery to see if it was part of the recall. As I looked at the back of my battery I found 13 different 'numbers'. There were two numbers that were each identified as the 'model number.' Even my notebook computer has numerous stickers that...

Hey all.....I have a gateway 7110gx notebook. The center pin of the AC power jack on the motherboard snapped off. Repair shops only want to swap board for 450 dollars. I have de-soldered the broken AC power jack from the MB, but local stores have no stock on such an item. Is there a way to...

Can anyone tell me if the new FX series of machines use the screwless case....'or does it have screws? TIA. Joe.

Just purchased a Gateway MX6447. Way too much "free" software provided, most without any documentation. It has both "Realtek RTL8187 Wireless LAN Utility" and the "Broadcom Wireless LAN utility". Is there any advantage to either or both of these in addition to what comes with XP MCE? Thanks,...

I just got a new Gateway MP8708 laptop. It comes with windows media center, which my audio hardware will definitely not be compatible with. So I tried to put in XP Pro just like all my other machines. After it loads and I press enter to set up XP now the same screen comes up: Setup did not find any...

Got that last one solved..... Ok the new problem is after I use the SATA drivers from gateway NOW after the drive format it asks me for the Intel® Matrix Storage Manager, which looks like it is for RAID (which i dont have- so i donno why it needs it). Without it it cannot proceed with the install...

Hi Again Followed the advice to format my HD and all has gone fairly well with one exception. Setting up a network. I have a Toshiba Laptop with WXP connected to the Gateway G6 333 mhz with W98, through a linksys wireless router v6.0. For some reason now when I install the network setup that...

Does anyone here know if the Solo 1450 ever sported an AMD processor? I just bought a systemboard that looks very similar to a 1400/1450 board, but does support the AMD processor. I'm just wondering if this came from a 1450 or even 1400. I don't have a chip to test it yet. Thanks in...

I'm trying to help a friend set up a wireless network but can't get her Broadcom 802.11 Multiband Network card to work no matter what I try. I can connect her to her broadband modem via cat5 and can get her working wireless using a Belkin PCMCIA card from my laptop but I'm at loss trying to...
