I have a Dell so I went to thier site and purchased the one recommended for my particular computer. they are all incredibly easy to install, I would imagine you could go to gateway and do the same. Consider a burner that has www.lightscribe.com which can print on the DVD for you. I wish I knew about it then.
I have a Gateway Pentium 4 2.0 Ghz, 512 Ram. 120 Gig HD. I have a Lite-On LTR 24102B CD-Rom Drive and a Matshita DVD-Rom SR 8587 CD-Rom Drive
I want to buy a DVD Burner to take the place of the Cd Burner. Any Suggestions as to a good model and one that will install easy. Thanks
