It has seemed to work fine so far.

I think it was overpriced but Gateway gave me a discount because of the
lawsuit against them for selling this computer as DX2-66 with a promise
of upgrading to pentium when the pentium upgrade chips came out.  The
lawsuit finally forced them to provide the upgrade chip.

I wouldn't do it again if there were a faster chip available for this
mother board.  Is there a faster pentium chip that will work with this
motherboard? Would it actually increase the speed given the VESA bus
system that this mother board has?

Does Partition Magic have a site on the Web?

Thanks David,
