Sometimes I think I overthink the obvious. Does someone know if this (http://support.gateway.com/support/detailedinfo.asp?sn=0006674276) board uses regular SDRAM like PC66??? Thanks for the help.

Yes it will. Keep in mind however that the chipset used on that board, the i430 series, will only cache a total of 64mb. If you try to install more than that, the system will slow to a crawl.

Actually that's true of the 430VX chipset, but there are other versions (e.g. 430HX) that can handle more than 64MB without a problem.
