You can at least upgrade to an DX2/66 or an DX4/100 Overdrive.

So after looking I saw a strange thing next to the cpu, I couldnt believe that a pin was sticking out and every thing was working!! Was the gateway builder sleeping ??!!?!?

Someone seemed to have been not paying attention. Never seen this specific "feature" before 🤣
Good thing the pins on these older CPUs are not easy to break when trying to straighten them 😜
