Gateway mt3422 Windows XP/7 Drivers and Details

I created this post on 2009, and today I was roaming on my old blog post to update outdated and broken links. I found out this post using mirror download link (long time ago it was up and running) and sadly it was  removed by the file hosting site. When I search on Gateway site the support or this model is not available, I fond the original download page from Acer panama but it is hard to access the content. This model is capable of running 32-bit operating system since it only support maximum 2GB of RAM (PC2-5300)

Drivers for Windows XP

Chipset
Nvidia chipset driver version 4.5.0 :

Chipset

This chipset drivers will install the PCi and SMBUS controller, you need to install the first chipset drivers above first.
Download

Chipset* Installation:
Extract the driver file and don't run setup to install. You will see 2 folder which is windows vista32 (32-bit) and winvista64(64-bit), open the folder and run the setup located in that folder to install. Why? because it is originally windows Vista drivers, so the main setup only compatible with windows vista. So, we need to run specific setup in winvista folder in order to install it for windows XP. The original file is D20008-001-001, but the driver i posted above is the same version as the original and it is released by gateway.
