Subject: Bad processor or motherboard?

I've got a Shuttle FV24 v2.0 motherboard with a Celeron 1 GHz (100 MHz
FSB) processor in it. It's locking randomly on every OS I try. I
finally downloaded the Memtest-86 cd image, and let it run all the tests
on the memory, and it's failing at a specific percentage, on a specific
test (2% into Test #6 [Modulo 20, ones & zeros, cached]). Now, I've
swapped out all the memory, same failure. All tests were done with the
Fail-Safe defaults loaded in BIOS, except that I turned off the
framebuffer for the internal video card. This leads me to believe that
either the processor or motherboard is failing.
So, does anyone know of anyway to determine which it is that does not
involve putting another processor on this motherboard?
If not, does anyone have a known good FC-PGA Celeron (based on the
Pentium III core, not the newer ones) between 700 MHz and 1 GHz that
they would be willing to part with (temporarily), or could bring to the
Friday night meeting?
Sheesh... just when everything was running so smoothly. ;]
