Replacing the processor
The computer is compatible with the Pentium
®
III or Celeron socketed
processors with 66, 100, or 133 MHz front side bus (FSB). Processor and bus
speed are automatically detected by the computer; therefore, there are no
system board jumpers to set.
When replacing a processor, order a processor replacement from the Accessory
Store on the Gateway Web site.
Caution A heatsink must be installed on the processor. Installing
a processor without a heatsink could result in damage to,
or failure of, the processor.
