I'm pretty sure you can just drop the 100MHz FSB Celerons in there. They autosense the correct configuration for multipliers and stuff. Just buy a celeron and the slot 1 adapter and go fast. Make sure to get the latest BIOS from Gateway prior to upgrading though. Of course motherboards are pretty cheap too, you could get a new one with AGP 4x (if you don't have it already), ATA/100 or ATA/133, IDE RAID, or a different processor format, like P4 or Athlon XP.
