gateway t1620

[Diabase]

I'm back after seven years of service using the downgraded Gateway t1620 I described in 2007. With XP professional finally no longer supported I'm upgrading all my machines to Windows 7 and adding extra hardware to make the transition easier. I've bought 2GB of ram on Amazon and searched the 'net for Windows 7 drivers for the Gateway t1620. I found an entrepreneur who managed to gather up Gateway t1620 drivers for XP, Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8 operating system and is selling a well-made automatic hardware drivers installation DVD on Amazon containing all the drivers. Remembering how much work it was to just find drivers for XP, I was very comfortable shelling out $8.95 for the DVD. As an experiment I’ve already used the disk to update the XP drivers and the system seem to run noticeably smoother. I plan to use Clonezilla to grab an image of my old XP system before doing a clean install of Windows 7. I’ll let you know how that goes…
