Looks like it was required that I open up the case to that I have PC2700 
DDR333, not because I needed to know that set of numbers and letters but 
because I needed to know that the machine has a more serious problem. It 
appears to be heat related -- if the machine is cold, it won't get past 
some motherboard beep code. Once it warms up, and Linux loads, it runs 
just fine. However, it is also slow for my next project and I discovered 
that the faster machines available from the Free Geek Thrift Store are 
within my budget. I'll pay them a visit soon and pick up a machine close 
to twice as fast as this one.

Thanks to all for all the ideas.
