Get a celeron 433 and an abit bx6.2 motherboard and set the bus speed at 75mhz. There was some talk somewhere that this will make ure pci slots unstable but sure just get a fan for that. Best place to get it from is the uk.

also get one of those big fu(koff ultra tnt2's.

I hear the IDT winchip is quite good.
