If you care about your gaming don't buy a Gateway laptop.
It has no option in the BIOS to disable the cpu throttling which results in games(even low resolution games) playing choppy.
According to CPU-Z my CPU is jumping from 997MHz to 1998MHz and back even with power options turned to always on and other power settings.
I have owned many laptops and all of them had an option in the BIOS to disable speedstep.This was my first and will be my last Gateway as the support techs have been giving me the run around and for five months they still have not addressed this problem.
my laptop is a core duo with a geforce 7800 and came with 1 GB RAM
