Memtest ran OK.

I wound up going to PC Club and bought an Intel
865GBFL MB, P4 3.2 (and of course new Kingston RAM),
then went to CompUSA and got a new Antec case and fan.

See my e-mail that I sent from work yesterday
titled "Installing eCS 1.2 on SATA drive"; I tried
booting the new MB/CPU up, but when I booted from eCS
1.2 CD 1, it gave off a beep (because I now have a WD
SATA drive), then it said something to the effect
of "Please insert eCS installation CD in CD-ROM
drive", even though it's already in the CD-ROM drive.
