gday, picked this up recently and the 98install has a lot of junk with a real slow boot i don't think the owners put all of the original drivers on or there might be conflicts as anytime i install/uninstall anything the SB Live chime and video plays which i don't think is standard. The gateways archive.org site doesn't appear to list this model and majority of similar model number links are dead.
Intel WL810E socket 370 motherboard, Pentium III 650mhz, 128mb ram, inbuilt gpu intel 82810.
back of the motherboard has the following numbers: PB A07299-002 . P41989B . 94V0 1900 . ELEC5M-03
i thought id upgrade this with a voodoo banshee or v3 until i noticed the PSU. It's a small mATX, only 90w max and low amps on the +5 and +3.3 is there any new old stock matx psus that would fit a system like this? or a modern one that i could get adapters for?
is there much use for ethernet cards for these builds? outside of a retro nas i can't find any uses for em so i end up with an ever growing pile of modem/network cards
if we can solve the limited psu with something beefier let me know some upgrade suggestions
