Hey RHW maybe the system needs to know about the new chip. If it works okay and you made the right changes to the jumpers including the multiplier setting, then go on to checking the RAM etc. If you have Windows95 and just 8 or 12 megabytes of RAM then you should at least double it, maybe quadruple it. Do whatever the board and your budget will allow. A lot of people have slow modems (get a 56K "hardware" modem or even cable or DSL or Speedchoice for microwave downloads of internet content). Some people have really cheap unsuitable 128k or 256k video ram; it should be 1 or 2 mb for basics or 6mb or better for some gaming and other graphics/drawing activities, even higher if a persons budget allows, for best gaming other graphics intensive activities. 0909 RHW wrote: > I have an (old) Gateway 2000 P-75, which originally came equipped with an > Intel Pentium chip running at 75mHz.
