Maybe just one of the voltages (possibly 3.3v) is down, or at least below spec.
Could be that your old PII board doesn't care about that voltage but your new board does. I'm guessing that your old board uses 72-pin dimms for memory. As far as I know those run on 5v. The PII core voltage is probably also derived from 5v, in which case the 3.3v line would be redundant on that board.
Your new board will almost certainly use the 3.3v for processor core voltage, and maybe for memory voltage too.

you get that checksum error the first time you start up a mobo whether it be first time ever after buying it, first time after replacing a battery or clearing cmos, or first time after a new bios update. once youve gone into the bios and set stuff up it wont get the error anymore.
first worry about getting a replacement power supply. then you will probably need to change boot order in your bios to floppy, cd-rom, and last hard drive. now you willl install a new operating system onto the hard drive (old one most likely isnt going to work with the new parts)
