Processor Compatibility Question

[chokingjaik]

I am about to purchase a replacement processor. I was wondering if this processor, http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/K7/AMD-Athlon 1400 - A1400AMS3C.html
was compatible with this board. http://support.gateway.com/support/manlib/cmponts/sysboard/8507869/07869.htm

I understand somewhat. I don't understand the effective bus speed though. That doesn't make sense to me. Any extra information would be helpful. Please reply soon.

Here is the link for the processor, it didn't show the first time.

So in your opinion, It would be the right choice for me to spend $30? It makes enough sense to me that it works from what I read, and the 266 (effective) FSB is all that was confusing me. I'm just trying to make sure I do the right thing here before I go out and make a mistake. Thanks.

I ended up buying this one http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/K7/AMD-Athlon%20XP%201600+%20-%20AX1600DMT3C.html
What do you think? It looks to me like I maxed out the processor possibilities for the board. I paid $42 total. I haven't put it in yet, because I have to get thermal transfer grease. Someone said I should get non conductive, instead of conductive. What is the difference betweent those? Is this processor right for my board, like the other one was? Thanks for all the help you are providing.

The best thermal grease out there is Artic Silver 5. It contains 99% Silver- the grease alone brings down the temperatures 5-10F. All the others ( Like CompUSA Thermal grease and generic brands) say they have 99% silver, but really have less than 10% according to many studies and tests. Besides, It's only a few bucks and it's well worth it

I could send you my used bottle if you want
