[SWLUG] Getting old machine working

When you are next back at your PC try the following. Sometimes there 
is a long alphanumeric number that appears in the bottom left of the 
screen during the boot process. That is providing it gets that far. 
You can hold the <pause / break> key and jot that number down. Whack 
it in google and you might be able to find the manufacturer of the 
mboard.
