I have two of those motherboards, both have the same BIOS yours does,
and I had one running a PII233, which was pulled out to "qualify" a
celeron 533 PPGA in it.

The motherboard will supply the correct voltage, so leave slotket
adapter set to auto for voltage (auto for FSB too if you have that
option).  The onboard jumpers for multiplier were set to 233MHz
(3.5X), but it shouldn't matter what they are set to.

The first attempt at running the celeron 533PPGA on the Anigma boards
was with an Abit SlotketIII.  The system would not power on.  My best
guess is a compatibility problem between the 440LX northbridge chip
and some slotket adaptors, as several other 440LX-based boards were
tried  with two different revisions of the Abit SlotketIII adaptor and
Celeron 533PPGA, and wouldn't work, but very similar 440BX
motherboards did work with that CPU/slotket combination.

The celeron 533 did run fine on the Anigma with a different generic
slotket adaptor, which is what I suggest you try.  I have not tried to
identify the generic slotket adaptor that worked, it was bought loose
in a lot of equipment, has no markings, so I have no information on
it.   I think (not 100% sure) that the very common "PC100" adaptors
work.  If you want I can email you a good pic of the working slotket I
have, possibly figure out the manufacturer.  One thing I've learned
about the slotkets is that they seem to be more stable if they have
the large (relatively speaking, small actually) capacitors on them.

I would be grateful if you would send me documentation on that
motherboard (Gateway's website docs are pretty skimpy, aren't they?).
