    Is there a way to find out what laptop I actually have, a 7535 OR a 7535G.

    What does the G stand for? Does it make a much of a difference in drivers if I got them mixed up?

    G means discrete video. Do you have an ATI 4570 video card or similar?

    Hey Techiediva. I have a gateway M-6750 with the Marvell topdog card. I just upgraded to Win7 ultimate and can't get the card to work - not even detected. I noticed you have the same card in your notebook and running Win7 too. How did you get it to work? Can you pls point me to where the drivers are? Thx!

    if I remember correctly I plugged in my lan cable and connected to windows update and windows update installed to topdog drivers without any issues.

    p.s., you shouldn't hijack a thread.
