Finding your specificationsFor more information about your notebook, such as memory size, memory type, and hard drive size, visit Gateway’s eSupport page at support.gateway.com. The eSupport page also has links to additional Gateway documentation and detailed specifications. For more information, see “Gateway Web site” on page 3.
AccessoriesTo order accessories, visit the Accessory Store at accessories.gateway.com.
BatteriesIf you run your notebook on battery power for extended periods, you may want to buy an additional battery so you can swap batteries when necessary. See “Changing batteries” on page 65 for more information about using an additional main battery and a secondary battery in your notebook.
Carrying casesGateway has
Large programs, such as multimedia games or graphics programs, use a lot of memory. If your programs are running more slowly than you think they should, try adding more memory. See “Adding or replacing memory” on page 73 for more information.
Port replicatorsAlthough you can attach devices directly to your notebook, a port replicator lets you make all of those connections at one time. When you travel with your notebook, you merely disconnect from the port replicator instead of unplugging all the devices.
A port replicator also provides additional ports and other expansion features not included with your notebook. See “Using the Optional Port Replicator” on page 81 for more information about using a port replicator with your notebook.
