I have assembled a PC from basically what is a pile of other people's
cast-offs. The MB is the Intel D815EEA2 It has a 1.1Ghz Celeron present

I have that exact same board and replaced the original 1.2 celeron with a
1.4 "server type" tualatin when the price dropped on those high end cpu's
just a few months ago. I had trouble getting the correct memory to work
either with the original 1.2 several years ago, or the 1.4 tualatin and
ended up with a pair of kingston that seem to work fine. Very stable, XP
SP2.
I put a couple of screen shots here so you can see what the memory was I got
to workh. Make sure you got the latest bios.

and the full 512Mb of RAM.
I am trying to sort out the front panel connections at present. The
recycled Tiny desktop case has switches for Main Power Standby, reset with
LEDs for HDD activity and power on.
I need to sort what the pins of the available connectors are for.
Such official Intel info as is available doesnt go into enough detail of
the individual pins.
Obviously I need the front panel switch to keep the system off unless it
is pressed because the PSU has no switch on its rear.
At present it whirs into life, I get the POST info, two beeps and then
nothing beyond brief response from the floppy drive and hard disc.
The CMOS battery is failing, that I do know. Will this prevent the sytem
from proceeding any further?
Ought I to have the 2x 256Mb stick of PAM in particular slots?
I have not fitted a graphics card. I am going with the on-board one at
present.
Can you disable the on-board SVGA in BIOS and change the boot sequence?
I have put a bootable floppy in for formatting and partitioning hard
drives, and a Ubuntu Linux Live CD. My No1 system boots readily from these
discs even after going into the BIOS to boot from CD-ROM first.

I am going out to get a CR2032 tomorrow. Anything else I need?
