CPU; Barton XP2500+; they overclock easily to 3200+ speed and up.  Memory;
get TwinMos, Buffalo Tech, PC3200 at least for operation at 200 MHz FSB.  If
you want to get the FSB as high as possible, get PC3500 or PC3700.  All will
work fine; depends on how much you want to spend.  PC3200 would be the
minimum speed.
