| Great News! I have successfully updated to a PIII 450Mhz Slot 1, following my bios upgrade to P14 from the intel website I still had blurriness in my icons. I went to the gateway website where they sort of tell you that the board will support a PII and up, not really mentioning how much up you can go. I also learned that there is a jumper on this board that consists of three pins in the lower right hand corner assuming you are looking at it in its original position. I had to shut down the computer with the cover off and insert the PIII. I had to take the jumper which is normally on Pins 1,2 and put it over Pins 2,3. Once this is done you restart the computer and it automatically detects your new processor, upon completion of this process it will instruct you to shut down your computer and put jumper back on pins 1,2. That was it! I bought the PII 450Mhz on Ebay as a test for about 30.00 CA. I will now buy the PIII 1KMhz slot 1, for about 150.00 CA and call it a success. I have searched for months on this subject and am happy to have closure. My computer will get me through the summer and I will buy a new one next year, or a new MOBO anyways. I do have the integrated video card and that sucks because I am stuck here. I have upgraded the driver to stb 128, but my graphics are limited to 8MB I believe? Let me know if you have any ideas on this. I ran direct X and I get some kind of message that direct show wont work and then it goes to system error and crashes, any suggestions?
