Chapter 2: Checking Out Your Gateway Computer
Finding your specifications

drive size, visit Gateway’s Support page at
support.gateway.com . The Support page also has
links to additional Gateway documentation and detailed specifications. For more

Memory
Large programs, such as multimedia games or graphics programs, use a lot of memory. If
your programs are running more slowly than you think they should, try adding more
memory.
Printers
You can attach almost any type of printer to your computer. The most common types are
inkjet and laser printers, which print in color or black and white. See
“Installing a printer,
scanner, or other peripheral device” on page 32 for more information about attaching a
printer.
Inkjet printers and cartridges are relatively inexpensive, but they are slower than laser
printers. Using an inkjet color printer, you can print pictures, banners, and greeting cards,
as well as documents.
