Folks...I want to thank all of you for so much help.  I have all of the 
tools
that I need now, however I haven't gotten to the project.  I'll start 
tonight..
and if successful, I'll let all of you know.

I am planning to  RUN memtest86 just to "make sure" that the memory is
OK...I already made a boot CD.

I'm going to install the INTEL drivers first....see if they are OK....
I'm going to run 915resolution to at least get my BIOS readings so
that I can match a mode with something that I'll write into the xorg config
file...I KNOW that I'll find a good combination...I just haven't fount 
it yet...
but with all of the information that I have now, I can't see it NOT working.

Anyway, thanks, everyone...

Bob Boehm
