how do you know this is the problem, and the motherboard hasn't croaked in some OTHER 10+ year old crusty mobo fashion ?
Because the original poster specifically stated that the box had failed video ram in it? :) While possible that there are other issues at play, I can only go by the information provided by the orignal poster.
I've never seen a motherboard from that era that could bypass failed video memory POST results - YMMV.
