The machine in question is an old HP Kayak.  I know it uses some sort of
Intel 440 chipset, but I can't tell from HPs web site which one.  I don't
know if chipset has anything to do with whether VRMs would be required 
though.  I didn't see any mention on HPs web site about VRMs for Kayaks, but
I also failed to find which chipset is used.  I didn't even know that varied
the chipsets for the Kayak XUs until Crucial asked what it was.

Well, hopefully the machine minus CPUs, ram, and HD will only cost me $40,
and I have RAM and HD, just need CPUs and maybe VRMs.  Just wish I could
find something definative about this particular machine.
