I hope you're not going to try to run anything better than like Puppy Linux or DSL (Damn Small Linux) on it. I mean a 97 Gateway, that is 12 years old...shit.
 
what?
u put in the new CPU?
or what?
im assuming so
i know that this is ment for mobos, but cpus are on them

just skip the stuff thats not needed and look at the CPU part of it
that might be what you are missing
maybe
 
Is windows 97 on there? If it is, get something else. Windows 97 was just a beta that ended up getting released as a service pack for windows 95. If you want, I'll even GIVE you my copy of xp. You would not want to try running windows 7 on there. I don't think it would even run on it (requires at least 1GHz CPU and 1GB RAM).
