I also have a gateway solo 2500 running windows xp, Yes! It runs great! My specs are a little different. Intel Celeron 300 MHz and originally had 96 MB RAM. I added a 256 MB RAM to the empty slot and although gateway claims it is not supported the system recognizes it and it works great! Found this laptop at a dump. Apparently someone threw it out because of the harddrive with all the bad sectors on it. Picked up a used 6 GB drive at a shop and now running XP on the little bugger. Only a few problems I am having...cant get the right driver for the sound card or the built in ps/2 touchpad...sound works, just cannot mute the built in mic...the soundcard is a NeoMagic MagicWave 3DX. XP lists it as a NeoMagic MagicMedia AV. I can turn the mic down and the screeching will stop...but if I open volume control and mute the mic and then close volume control and reopen it the mic is no longer muted. It is annoying because everytime I restart this laptop I have to go into my volume control and turn the mic down again to stop the feedback sound "SCREEECH!" and I cannot find any possible way to disable tapping on the touchpad (EZ-Pad TouchScroll PS/2) I do not really know what to do about these issues... Otherwise XP runs better than 98... So now you have met your match...LOL!
