Legacy ISA expansion cards can't be used, as all three expansion slots are for PCI devices. There is no AGP slot either, so you're stuck with the built-in graphics adapter. In any case, cramming the innards isn't a good idea, as the power supply is rated at only 90W and the Socket 370 processor has no cooling fan, just an overgrown heatsink, though the power supply is suspended over the processor to blow cool air directly onto it. The input devices are easy to use, with an IntelliMouse and a Gateway keyboard with non-slip rubber feet and a loose, but positive, action. The Gateway monitor works well at 1024x768 and is adjusted by a multifunction wheel hidden behind a flap.
