Surprise, surprise, in socket 3 or 4, the machine booted. I know I tried
this before and it didn't boot, but perhaps I was confused.

So, I moved the two DIMMs to 3 and 4 and it is alive. I can live without 1
and 2, since I only need 1Gb in this machine.

Weird, but happy.


oops, before I could even send this, it died again. Third boot. Lights 3 &
4.

Wonder what could cause an intermittent problem?

Congrats on the persistence! I often say that I can "hack my way"
through problems, but maybe that's what professionals do too (to a
certain extent).
