And the reason:
YOUR ADVICE IS GOOD! ! !
I am telling you right now from the computer that was down!! My coworkers here thank you all!
And, I believe it was the stick of RAM that was loose: upon reading all your posts, and even before that, I took off and reconnected tightly all the signal and power cabling to all the peripherals, as the HD, CDROM, floppy, Zip, etc. and still no go. Again, after reading your replies, I removed the RAM and got exactly the same symptoms, namely the three beeps and no POST. So I popped it back in making sure it was tight, and well, voila!
Thank you all again,
and again, STICKY THIS PLEASE!

Consider It done Stickied guys. I'm sure we can fill this post up with all kinds of usefull tech help/tips.

Let me then open the stickied phase of this thread with another question. This one deals with a comp at home I just put together and is not even being used yet.
I based it on the Barton core AMD Athlon XP 2500+, with a 333 MHz FSB, with a 1.833 GHz clockspeed.
But when I built it, the BIOS AND WinXP reads it as only running at 1.1 GHz and the FSB rate is 100 MHz. I can't figure out what's up with that or how I can remedy this...
... or is the chip running as advertised, only the mobo is reading it wrong?

hey E , when u reboot it next time u'll have to set the correct speed on the cpu in the bios. when u enter the bios its in the section of CPU FSB CLOCK part. try setting it at 166MHZ go from there. not sure what the values should be for ur processor but thats what the prob is. hope it helps

Your motherboard is not reading it wrong, it's probably set wrong. You're gonna have to go into the BIOS and tell it to run the FSB at 166Mhz, rather than 100. The slower speed is a default.
Your CPU multiplier for that chip is 5.5. The 100Mhz number in your BIOS is doubled to get the FSB frequency, which is then 200Mhz. 200Mhz x 5.5 = 1.1Ghz, which is what you're seeing.
If you set your mainboard to 166Mhz, that doubled is 333Mhz FSB. 333Mhz x 5.5 = 1.833Ghz, which is what you want to see.
