I bought a Gateway MT3422 laptop. I'm trying to install XP on it instead of Vista, to try to improve performance (it's not nearly powerful enough to run Vista well). I managed to fix the crashing problem I had earlier, but now I've run...

Problem is, all the other laptops in that price range use Intel GMA 950 Video, so the 6100 was really my best choice. As for the processor, why the heck would all the documentation, stickers, etc. identify the processor as an Athlon...

I'm looking at upgrade options right now on Newegg for memory. The Best Buy site for this laptop states "1GB PC2-5300 DDR2 memory for multitasking power, expandable to 2GB". I had assumed that the laptop had two 512MB sticks,...

I would also appreciate this very much.

It should be on the restore DVD (or cd, whatever you have. My 7405GX has a DVD). Same folder, same name. You don't even have to do a full restore of the system, just go into the folder and install from there. I did that after installing...
