Yeah that much I did know and it's all gold contacts here in both the
Gateway Pentium and the H.P. Celeron. 
In fact it's likely I could max out the Gateway with the DIMMs in the
Celeron as they both take PC100 128MB 168 pin DIMMS

Both salvaged for FREE and now running Knoppix Linux :-)

Still learning about the Gateway but it looks to be
a server class machine with lots of goodies.

Hope you had a Merry Christmas and best wishes to you
and your's in the New Year.
