Paul,

A CD-RW drive (i.e., burner) usually works better when it's not on the same IDE controller as the CD-ROM.

Your computer should support the Plextor CD-RW, but I don't know anything about the Gateway power supply. You might want to upgrade the power supply before you install the burner. Does Gateway have a forum? Try to find out about replacing the power supply and if it's required.
