Since you didn't mention what your budget is, I'll assume it is low-budget, here are two CPU/mobo combinations that are low budget.


Athlon:

Abit NS7 (I think that is what it is called)
AXP 2500+ (OCed to 3200+ levels)
PC3200 RAM


Pentium:

Abit IS7
P4C 2.6 (OCed to ~3.2GHz)
PC4000 RAM


The pentium system is faster in general, but more expensive.

Damn Rambus.
