motherboard replacement

I have a 667c model computer,motherboard is labeled 601m-24agm,with a
celeron667 MHZ processor,370 pga.370 board,memory 133u.?what type of
motherboard can I replace it with. a friend toll me that the only thing I
have to look at is the cpu 370 is this true?

Possible replacements depend on the size and form factor of the motherboard.
Open up the case and look at the board.

Gateway seems to have used 3 styles of boards with 667MHz Celerons:

NLX, which slides laterally along the bottom of the case into a slot on a
vertical riser card to which add-in cards may be inserted.
microATX, which has 4 PCI slots.
flex ATX, which is very small and has two PCI slots.

Only the microATX board offers a reasonable prospect of board replacement, and
to go to a Pentium 4, you'll also need a Pentium 4-capable power supply.

For the other two types, the best hope is a processor upgrade, maybe to a faster
Pentium III, the fastest one supported by the board... Ben Myers

Your best bet is to use another of the same board. Try www.skyline-eng.com

.... and be prepared to pay Skyline Engineering more for a board than the entire
system is worth... Ben Myers

THANK YOU BEN AND EDWARD FOR THE INFO ON THE MOTHERBOARD.SINCE I LAST
POSTED MY QUESTION,I HAVE REPLACE THE ORIGINAL POWER SUPPLY FOR A NEW ATX
CASE THAT HAS THE POWER SUPPLY INCLUDED WICH IS A 400W.?CAN I USE ANY
MOTHERBOARD THAT IS A 370,MY CPU SAYS PGA 370.

If the motherboard is an ATX or microATX form factor, it will work just fine in
another ATX case... Ben Myers

I have this motherboard. A few months late, but if you
are still looking email me with the words GATEWAY 667 in
caps in the subject.
Hardly ever read my email, unless it comes to a filtered
file.
