My Gateway experience:
Delivery took six weeks.
It came with wrong software disk and authorization code(MS Office) and
the wrong mouse.  That took another week and a half to get.

I have (2) PIII 500 cpu's. For $175, is this board worth playing with? I
have close to a gig of pc100 sdram, along with the processors, which I hate
to 'junk'. AND, I want a GW splash screen...I know, a-c...

I have a new 710XL with the LCD FPD1830 monitor.  It came with the
analog VGA cable to the NVidia card.  The video is nice.  I purchased
a digital cable at Best Buy ($60) and connected it and it also works
fine.  I am wondering what differences I should be seeing?  I havent

Just had a funny conversation with a rep at Gateway about what Centrino
actually is.
I'm not syaing I'm an expert about this (because I'm NOT), but I don't make
a living selling these products either.

      SP2 is still in beta, so the final release might look different than
these recent screenshots:

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

I know this may seem stupid, but I am really wondering about this.
I ordered a new Gateway 500X Performance (with a few upgrades), but since I
already have a flat-screen monitor (LCD), I decided to NOT get a monitor
with it.

the cmos/clock battery of my solo 1450 laptop need to be replaced, i
called gateway for help, even chatted with one technician online, but
they can't (won't) tell me how and where the cmos battery is located.
anyone with a solo 1450 laptop has been through the same problem?

Where do you adjust "hovering," i.e. when I move the pointer over a link
it just continues to go there to the link w/o me clicking in order to go
there ;-(.  It can become a real nuisance while using the 'touchpad.'

    FWIW.  I've seen that abbrevation used in this NG and dozens more.
Puns aside (please), what does it stand for?

I have a PIII 600/512/100/2.05V S1 10260347-0330 is this a katmai?  I
want to put it in a G6-450 w/ a MBD PII/BX TB2 W/AUD JABIL RI 100FBS
Motherboard

   Still cant get my i.e.  to function correctly.  If I delete the program
in control panel,  will I be able to reinstall just my i.e.  off the win xp
disc,  without it harming anything else?
       Could the reinstall of this possibly solve my problem, of error

Is the Intel PIII 600/512/100 2.05V SLOT 1 SL3F7 the right CPU for a
G6-450 PII.  I have a G6-450 w/ a MBD PII/BX TB2 W/AUD JABIL RI 100FBS
Motherboard. I find a lot of SL3JM but very few SL3F7 stamped on the
side. What is the differenes between the SL3F7 and the SL3JM chips?

I bought a new Toshiba A35-S159 laptop.  Unfortunately, at the the
Gateway country store there was no one there (several times!) that
wanted to answer my basic questions about wireless.  I don't know how
they expect to sell computers? But, their emphasis seems to be on TVs

I have two hard drives.  C has WinXP installed and is formatted as NTFS.  D
which is 10GB and is used for  backups is formatted as FAT32.  Is there any
way to convert D to NTFS while it still has 225MBs of files installed on it?
Thanks.
