Just got a new laptop, 2gb ram, 160gb hd, 1.8ghz athlon64 x2, pretty decent I'd say. Was a good buy until I turned it on and met Vista Premium. Slower than expected, makes the laptop constantly run HOT, adobe photoshop cs2 problems, as well as many of my other favorite/necessary programs did not work...
So I called up gateway and asked if a downgrade option was available. No. If XP drivers are available. No.
So I wiped it anyway.
I'm having alot of trouble finding the correct drivers for this laptop. Gateway model MT3423. Funny thing is they do have 1 xp driver, that doesnt work.
So far i've done pretty well to find most of the drivers needed for it to work. I'm left with the Agere Systems HDA Modem (correct driver for that, one on Gateway doesnt work), Ethernet Controller, Other PCI Bridge Device (presumeably wireless realtek - not 100% sure), SM Bus Controller, SigmaTel High Definition Audio CODEC.
Those are all my ?s and !s... If I can get those fixed I'll compile a driver CD first, and then go postal at redmond, skipping the XP department.
Your help would be VERY VERY VERY much appreciated!
