Hence my reason for thinking that it is the mobo.... but.... since I only have 2 sticks of RAM and the problems occur with both, I really have no way of knowing whether the problem rests with either/neither.

The SOYO TISU motherboard is actually one of the best Socket 370 motherboard (that supports the Tualatin CPU) ever made. There is the possibility that the motherboard is going out, but I think it's a slight chance at best. Check the capacitors on the motherboard for bulging or leaking.
It's the current SOYO motherboards that are being made by ECS, not the older ones.
