For a Pentium III 933 you would want a motherboard that has socket 370, slot 1 were used for PII and for some early 100MHz FSB PIII's. I personally like the VIA chipset, however the Intel 815 is the newest for Pentium. As for ram you are looking at 133 speed ram in the SDRAM format. I am a fan of ASUS motherboards, I am currently running a CUV4X without audio. Unfortunately this board is no longer available except as an E model (CUV4X-E). This board has 133MHz Front Side Bus, and is ATA 100 compatible for the newer HDD. It also uses the VIA 694 (x I believe) chipset. If you want the 815 chipset I would reccomend a CUSL2 motherboard, http://www.asus.com/ or something from Tyan, check their products here http://www.tyan.com/, or even Soyo http://www.soyo.com/index_nof.htm. Any questions do not hesitate to email me directly by replying to sender.
