    Unfortunately the Intel® Core™2 Extreme Mobile Processor X9100 is "not"compatible with your laptop

    Need a Mobile Intel® PM45 Express Chipset to use the X9100 due to the FSB(Frontside Bus)of "1066"

    The Extreme CPU for your Gateway is a Core 2 Extreme X7800 2.60MHz or a
    Core 2 Extreme X7900 2.8MHZ

    Check this list out

    You might be able to get a X9000 not really sure if Gateway came out with a BIOS update for the P-6860
