well this is not a direct w2k question but I am running w2k on Gateway ALR 7200 mother board but not a gateway puter the motherboard is daul slot 1 chip set (2 penII 400) 6 pci 1 raid 1 isa no agp and onboard daul adptec scsi controlers(I have this board because i bought at a show for $90 beat that)
but I would like to overclock my pentiums but have no cntrl over bus speed no jumpers,bios or anything. and the multiplier seems to have jumpers but no matter how I arange them nothing changes. I would like to use soft fbs but with out knowing exactly what mother board i have this is tuff so any help Like if you know make of mother board used by gateway or maybe a bios upgrade that will work curently pheonix bios not sure revision not at home(but up to date). any type of help would be great

Pentium 2's all have a multiplier lock - so the only way to o/c them is by changing the FSB, and you can only do that if the PLL that generates the FSB clock can be re-programmed (Ars Technica has good articles on both these subects).
The easiest way to see if SoftFSB will work is to go over the mobo looking for a 20(ish) pin DIL chip that has a designation as listed in FSB...not fun.
Also Microid Research ( www.mrbios.com) used to do a line of replacement BIOSs for most motherboards - they be able to help.
