If you have Linux running, you can check what chipset it has.
I suspect, given that it's a PIII-450 from Gateway, that it'll be
an intel chipset, almost definitely a BX, and so your
board will only do UDMA-33 (the 810 chipset IIRC was the
first Intel chipset to support UDMA-66).
If it's not Intel, then you might have a chance, but I don't
remember Dell or Gateway using any other chipsets in their Intel
home boxes (for servers, Dell use Serverworks a lot now :))
