    Heya. I just got myself a gateway, but I keen to get rid of vista. I've got a M-6842j (japanese model), but most of the drivers on the gateway site are for vista only. What should I do?

    since your model is not that common,
    i would suggest you find what hardware does it share with other US based models and search for the xp drivers based on that.

    i believe its all out there.
