Any recommendations on which board to get?
Also, if I were to get a new mobo & CPU, would it be wise to stick with 333 FSB, or just get a 400?

Just about any Athlon XP motherboard will work. I recommend a board with the nForce 2 chipset, but they tend to be a bit more expensive. Make sure the motherboard has support for 400 MHz RAM and a 400 MHz FSB CPU. If you want to spend a bit more money than required, I'd get an Abit NF7-S Revision 2.0. I consider it the best Athlon XP motherboard on the market.
I'd buy an Athlon XP 2500+ to keep costs down. If you want to spend the extra money, then a 400 MHz FSB CPU is fine (Athlon XP 3200+). Either way, upgrading to that setup would kick some ass.
