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.

Another to check might be MSI (Microstar) http://www.msi.com.tw/
