    Hi I'm upgrading a Gateway 500LS

    I have the s/n but can't find a record of it on their site.
    I can't find the 500 LS in google!

    I want to upgrade the proc from the 500mhz P3 slot 1 to a P3 1ghz and am wondering about compatibility.

    There is no os on the machine so i cant' run a bios tool.
    Does anyone know anything about the motherboards on these machines?
    Will they take this chip?

    I don't know about any 1 GHz slot 1 P3 cpu, but I might be wrong. I thought they were all socket 370...

    The US site only accepts US serials.

    get the first 4-5 digits of your BIOS and enter it into this search page.

    The info can be very vague though.
