Adding a processor
The system is compatible with the Intel
®
Pentium

III 600 MHz and faster
processors with 100 MHz front-side bus (FSB). As many as two processors may
be installed in the system. The second processor must match the first processor
in speed or the system functions at the speed of the slowest processor.
Important
Gateway recommends that you run a processor retest from
the BIOS Setup utility whenever you replace or add a
processor.
