Yes, this is an old Mobo. Gateway used these in their
Essential Series systems. I have upgraded this board with a P3 850 chip, Annihilator2 video card (32 meg), SB live 5.1,
and a U.S. Robotics V92 Fax PCI hardware modem. This board also make good use of a Linksys LNE100TX network card. I have had NO problems with this board in 3 1/2 years since this box was New!! Slackware 8.0 > 9.1 has had no problems installing and is able to utilize this older board to it's fullest potential.

This rock solid MoBo works perfectly, and is fully supported by lm_sensors for hardware monitoring.
I have a PIII550MHz (coppermine) on it.
