Gateway 6400 & 7400 Server Tech Links

About These Links

These are quick links to various info about the Gateway 6400 / 7400 series machines, collected for easy access.

Gateway's tech support web site is very confusing and slow, and I had to spend some time finding this data.  Some of it is dynamically generated and not linkable, so I took the liberty of extracting the data, reformatting it, and making it available here.  This is as much for my benefit as everyone else's, since it took forever for me to find again.  If you want the latest and greatest info, try to find it at Gateway's tech support web site.
