you might also find that the extra money you will have to spend on older slower memory (since it isn't mass produced anymore) will probably be more then getting an athlon. Consider getting a fsb266 instead of the xp line (same speed, but runs a little hotter and the athlong 1.4 is about the same as a 1.8xp in speed)
as for the sound card. Consider if you will ever change it to a pure dos machine. If so, go with a Sound Blaster AWE 16/32 or 64. It doesn't make a difference going with a new card and these can work without windows.
As for video card. cant go wrong with an ATI. They all have the same TV-out (but the MAXX I think) and they are all great.
