This is Gateway Support > Gateway MX6214 Notebook PC > Main Support page,
http://support.gateway.com/s/Mobile/Q106/BladeC/1009028nv.shtmlClick on Specifications in the list.
Now go back to the main page, and click on Components.
With the information on the two pages, you know now;
A) Processor:
Intel Celeron M 420. (Model 420)
The Pentium-M based Celeron M 420, (Yonah-1024 Core), uses a Socket M processor socket,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_Celeron_microprocessors#.22Yonah-1024.22_.2865_nm.29Has a 533MegaHertz Front Side Bus. (533MHz FSB)
Uses 1.0 to 1.3 Volts (DC)
B) Processor Socket:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socket_MC) Motherboard Chipset:
Intel 940GML,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_chipsets#Core.2FCore_2_mobile_chipsetsYou see what is supported by the motherboard chipset, Intel 940GML.
Processors supported (Official);
Intel Celeron M, Intel Core Solo, and Intel Pentium Dual Core.
An Intel Celeron processor is less than a comparable Pentium processor.
This is because it has less Cache. Usually around half of a Pentium based processor.
Processor Cache:
A small memory area for the Processor. Operates at the same Frequency Rate as the processor, therefore the First memory area a processor accesses.
( Frequency Rate = 'Speed'.
Speed; The term Intel used a long time ago, to help consumers compare 'power', and has stuck.
Example:
The Intel Celeron M model 420 mobile processor, can operate Up To a frequency rate of 1.6GigaHertz, or also stated as 1600MegaHertz.
{1.6GHz/1600MHz}
Mega = Approximately 1 Million in computer terms
Giga = Approximately 1 Billion in computer terms
Hertz stands for Cycles per Second.
The Intel Celeron M 420 can operate UP TO 1.6 Billion Cycles per Second )
Crude example of Cache;
You are writing a thesis, and you need additional information.
Where is it? Down in the basement, no light, under the stairs, in a box, last book on the bottom.
Down the stairs you go flashlight in hand. Book dug out, back upstairs, and open the book to the page/s you need.
Need more info? Yep. Back down in the basement you go.
OR,
You tap a few keys on the keyboard, for the computer in front of you, and have your information in seconds.
Less Cache? = Basement scenario
More cache? = Computer scenario
Pentium based processors have more Cache, than a comparable Celeron based processor.
You can also see the amount of Ram Memory support, and what type of Ram Memory is supported.
DDR2 Sdram at either 400MegaHertz, or 533MHz.
(PC2-3200, and PC2-4200, respectively, AND is SO-DIMM style for laptops. PC2-4200 is also known as PC2-4300. Just depends on the ram manufacturer)
2GigaByte maximum amount. (2GB)
D) Graphics:
Integrated Graphics. (Not a graphics card)
Intel GMA 950,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_GMA#GMA_950E) LCD screen:
15.4 Inch Widescreen, WXGA, and it's based on the Thin Film Transistor technology. (TFT)
(Always, always, always, look at the manufacturer name, and model number, { Manufacturer ID} on the back of the LCD screen. Make SURE you are getting THE LCD screen you need )
Service Manual? (Free),
http://www.tim.id.au/blog/tims-laptop-service-manuals/#toc-gatewayGo to the line that starts with Gateway 400. (400 in blue)
Drop down to the second line, scroll across, and click on the blue -
MX6200.
(The Gateway MX6214 Notebook PC is part of the MX6200 series )
This is a PDF file. The computer you are using now has Adobe Reader on it, which uses PDF files.
After you click on the file name, (MX6200), it may take up to 30 seconds, before the first page comes up.
