 Ok I was given a gateway m275  laptop  to play with  ( with out a harddrive)
 I  gotten it up and running  but it  almost impossible to find the  drivers for everything.  Gateway only list the lan /wireless, video chipset   drivers   but with xp I can't find the mem card reader,  the serial pent for the touch screen  or the dial up modem drivers. Everywere I go  it only links  to the places that you have to buy the program  to get the drivers ( it claims ).  I miss the  old days when you could find a  recovery  iso/ image  for the outdated pc, the drivers  in support section ( even if it was outdated ).  It like it a crime anymore to have something that more than a gen or 3 behind the current level.
