It looks like both those links are the same. I'm guessing this is the 'maybe not' link.

I don't get any second chances here and I really really want to avoid a call to Gateway tech support on a weekend. I'd be willing to waste an hour to be %100 sure of no glitches.

I'm also worried about 'clean installs' since I have drivers for the Nvidia card and whatever else I might need besides the junkware that gets put on the computer. I might actually have a use for MS Works.

BTW, feel free to be on topic anytime. In this place it would make you the unique nonconformist. Trust me.
