Memory: 4GB Ram 667mhz DDR2

Chipset: Intel PM965 (no idea about MOBO - Gateway Laptop)

Hard Drive: WDC WD2500BEVS-22UST0 SATA

Video Card: ATI Mobility HD2600 XT

Have you checked you Gateway Laptop model number on the HCL here?

 

You may struggle with the graphics adaptor#

 

If you are running Vista just create a small partition for OSX86 and try with something like Kalyway 10.5.2 If your Vista installation gets screwed just use the Vista DVD to repair the Vista boot

Ok thanks Bogbrush, but that site dosent contain any useful information for me but still thanks anyways. I will try to install a iDeneb 10.5.5 disk onto a partition (during a weekend or such) and ill get back to you with the results. Also (i dont know if this is against the ruls or not but if it is mods u can delete this part) do you know of any good sites I can find driver for when I have Mac?

 

Thanks.

Don't worry about post installation problems you can always ask for help in the 'Hardware and Drivers' (kext's) or 'Post Installation' sections
