Garl,

  It's an MSI Socket-A VIA chipset KT333 with audio KT3 Ultra2. That's what
it says on the receipt.

  Supposedly, the folks at ENU sold me components that worked together. The
RAM is DDR 512M 333MHz PC2700.

  When I looked at the BIOS settings last evening (in reply to Paul's
comments), I found a section that reported CPU and ambient temperatures.
Both seemed reasonable to me. I wish there was a way to display those
temperatures on the console. (X not being run since I need to get another
mouse for this box; the Fellowes "Micro Trac" finger trackball locks the
machine.)
