If memtest is run before seeing a new battery in and reports a ton of errors you are down to two things. The battery will be the cheapest to replace! Memtest reported some 68 errors on a pair of 512s to later report some 578 on a brand new pair of 1gb dimms on the same old build.
The cpu temps seemed to soar when seeing the cooler fan quit but also no longer booting at the 200mhz setting for the fsb in the bios. The thought was the cpu cooked. When going to put everything back together recently to see if it would run the cpu ran like nothing ever happened.
Why? That old board ate batteries for breakfast apparently! On another that first battery might have lasted 5yrs.! So you never know.
