Dual core Phenoms are quad cores with 2 cores disabled. Business class Phenoms (that’s what the B means in B59) are usually higher quality CPUs which makes them more dependable & reliable, which is why they’re designated B. You can try O/C’ing your 1st gen in the meantime but I wouldn’t expect a lot out of it, maybe 2.6-2.8GHz. It will be trial & error plus there’s the possibility your system will become unbootable, in which case you’ll have to reset the BIOS & start from scratch. Make sure you’ve flashed to the latest BIOS before you begin. I’ll have a look at the manual & see if I can recommend some settings to try.

When RAM of differing specs are installed together, ALL the RAM will run at the settings of the weakest link. So if you have "fast" RAM with timings like 4-4-4-12 & team it up with "slow" RAM of 6-6-6-18, ALL the RAM will run as 6-6-6-18 unless the timings are configured manually. However, CL6 RRead more
When RAM of differing specs are installed together, ALL the RAM will run at the settings of the weakest link. So if you have “fast” RAM with timings like 4-4-4-12 & team it up with “slow” RAM of 6-6-6-18, ALL the RAM will run as 6-6-6-18 unless the timings are configured manually. However, CL6 RAM may become unstable if it’s run at CL4.
Same goes for RAM frequency. If you team up DDR2-800 with DDR2-667, ALL RAM will run as DDR2-667. And if you attempt to run DDR2-667 at DDR2-800 frequency (400Mhz), it will likley become unstable or prevent the system from booting.
Your problem isn’t timings, it’s that your DDR2-800 is only running at 625MHz. Are you 100% sure that all your RAM is DDR2-800? Because DDR2-667 will run at 625MHz when it’s paired up with an AMD CPU with 14x multipler. That’s the way the memory divider works with that particular config. And since you’ve said there’s no way to increase the RAM frequency setting in the BIOS, the only way to increase the RAM speed would be to increase the CPU frequency. The problem with raising the CPU frequency is that doing so will increase the HT frequency. The HT frequency doesn’t require overclocking & should be kept as close to it’s default speed of 1000MHz as possible. If the HT bus is too far out of spec, the system may become unstable.
This table lists the resulting memory settings based on the CPU frequency & multiplier settings:
The bottomline is you have a crappy motherboard with a crappy BIOS that has very limited overclocking options. There is no work-around. Either live with it or buy a new board.
That 400W PSU alone is $150 & the video card is another $130. And you haven't even decided on a CPU yet. For easy math, let's say it's $70, that puts the total at $350. Why would you invest that much money in a crappy slim-style system?From the link posted by kuwese in the following thread: "TheRead more

From the link posted by kuwese in the following thread: “The motherboard is designed to support the LGA1155 socket for 2nd Generation Intel Core Family/Pentium/Celeron processors only.“
“The board is limited to 65W CPU’s only and ivy bridge chip won’t work“
IMO, upgrading this system would be a huge waste of money. You would be better off selling it (or keep it as a 2nd system) then buy or build something decent out of standard components. Another option would be to buy a standard size case & power supply, then swap all the Gateway components into the new case.

View it a couple of time first. Ensure you use the “correct style and size” of screwdriver. Otherwise you may damage the screwheads and thus make it impossible to remove the back.
Also note carefully which screw come from where, and ensure each goes back whence it came. Often they may look the same – but often they are not.
Suggest you make diagram – a sort of plan or map – and stick each screw to a position on this “plan” representing the screws actual/correct location. That way you will know which goes where; and by sticking them the plan you reduce of losing any screws?
Use Scotch tape/Sellotape to affix the screws to the plan.
Problem sorted. The issue was with another missing driver file - ipsec.sys. No idea why sfc didn't pick up that this was missing and it was just by going back through event viewer and seeing what info could get from that. Copied from i386 folder & all happily connecting now.
