    Congratulations! Where did you finally get the card from? I remember seeing posts from you here and there looking for it since Gateway wouldn't sell you one.

    EDIT: Ah, never mind. I see where you got it from in this post here.

    It all depends on what cards are offered for that computer. You may need mods to make it work. I don't know about that specific lappy. Sorry :(

    No. In the Gateway 74xx/75xx series the GPU is soldered to the motherboard.
