My Gateway Solo 2500 runs a 400MHz Pentium II with a 66MHz FSB; I didn't even know a 400MHz PII could run on a 66MHz FSB. (Specifications, see here.

All the Klamath chips and early Deschutes Pentium IIs run on a 66MHz bus speed. These chips are generally associated with the older 440FX, 440LX, and 440EX motherboards which could only supply a 66MHz bus speed.
The motherboard in your Gateway is most likely the reason. However, there's no real reason why those CPU's won't work at 66MHz on a 440BX, 440ZX, or similar 66/100MHz switchable motherboard.
