wow, it turns out the person i talked to at gateway lied to me. the max my mobo will support is a 366mhz mendocino.

http://support.gateway.com/s/MOTHERB...m0033502.shtml

two of there tech support people told me it would work. im sure glad i didnt shell out money on a new cpu. i thought i would ask a few more tech reps for assistance, and i did so the new processor was ruled out. no for the final results in the gateway technical support showdown!!!

2 said it would work
4 said it wouldnt work

you would think they would have all said one thing, they all were probally sitting in cubicles right next top each other.

also one of the sales reps told me if i add 256mb's of ram and a 64mb video card, that this would increase my system performance by 187%. this was the first one i talked to who told me that i could put any slot 1 with 66/100fsb on my computer, so im not sure weither to believe him about the 187% thing either.
