so needless to say im gettin a little frustrated. this is day 3 on this project, and i feel like my old win 2k build was much more stable than this.

Sounds like you need to try a distro a bit more your speed, not give up and use W2k. Throw SuSE or Fedora on there and get everything working, then use your experience there to get Gentoo working.
Plus, laptops have always been a bit rough to get Linux working on. Proprietary hardware, obscure mobile chipsets, and weird video cards are all the kinds of things that make Linux hard to get working properly.
