★ Blocks Posted February 12, 2008 Report Posted February 12, 2008 Ahh, that 512MB of RAM will hurt with Vista, even Home Basic, I think. I'm running Vista Business and at boot-up I'm using ~700MB. It would be expeditious to buy your own RAM and install if it you got something with 512MB. While we're at it with cheap laptops, there's one for $400 with similar specs here.

★ Admiral Kirk Posted February 13, 2008 Report Posted February 13, 2008 Thats a pretty decent laptop, 2gb of memory will serve you well. Just keep in mind that the gateways arnt realy any more durrable than the Acers are. Just treat it REAL gently. Also, let me tell you from first hand expierience of having replaced several dozen LCD screens that the easiest way to brake these laptops is to put any kind of presure on the top of the closed lid. You can VERY easily brake the LCD panel that way. If your going to get something like an Acer or a Gateway I would sugest getting a VERY nice expensive TARGUS carrying case with an inch or more of foam padding on both sides. Or just get some cheep !@#$%^&* carrying case with extra space and go buy a few blocks of foam to make your own. If you close the laptop and then rest anything over 3lbs or so or more on it, the LCD screen cracks ^^. Also it seams Gateway has XP drivers for that model, so when you get it just wipe it and install XP on it. Windows Vista is the new Windows ME ^^. Also, if you get a Mac I will hunt you down and blow it up with no less than 20lbs of TNT ^^ - Programmer of Many SS Related Apps- Former Owner of MetalGear CTF- http://kirk.sscentral.com
