That's not entirely true.  You should definitely check first with
Gateway on what their product supports in terms of CPU upgrades, but in
general there should be Coppermine CPUs available with a 100MHz FSB in
several higher frequencies than what Andrew currently has.  The
important piece is:  will the board in question support the lower
voltage, higher current requirements of the newer CuMine CPUs?  That's
the question you should be asking Gateway.  After that, ask them about
BIOS support.

Assuming the board supports the hardware, and Gateway offers an upgrade
to their BIOS (that recogizes the new CPUID), you're in FAT CITY.
