Balls.

I have a chance to revive my dual core Pentium 4, but I lack so much as a single gig of memory to put in the smegging thing. Moomf.

EDIT: Well, forget that. Found a couple spare sticks after all, and now the blessed thing shuts down in mid-boot before it even lets me get to the setup screen to check the CPU temp. So at minimum I'm looking at a new CPU and cooling fan. Unless I happen on a minor miracle on eBay, that's a lot more scratch than I have right now.

Remember the thing about mem sticks

Sometimes they do not get along with each other.
Try swapping out and reducing to one.
