Let me see if I am able to address each of your questions individually:

I have played with alternate configurations, but have not tried 'slot 0' open 
with a DIMM place in 'slot 1'.  If there was a bad 'slot 0' socket, would the 
motherboard be any good?  It seems that with 'slot 0' and 'slot 1' both 
occupied by a DIMM, and 'slot 0' assumed bad that would be the same as 
testing with only a DIMM in 'slot 1'.  Is this logic valid?

The front-side bus speed (133 MHz) is set via jumpers on the motherboard.  I 
just can't get the stinking box to recognize that I have any memory on-board.

I have checked the sight.  Nothing jumps out at me immediately.  I sent the 
support group a request for assistance.

Well, with only two cards (graphics & NIC) that ought to be easy enough.  It 
was just the weirdest thing.  Everything was fine, then it froze, I tried to 
reboot...and then...well, nothing.
