How fast can I get my motherboard going?

I've got a one-year old GA-7VAX motherboard with an Athlon XP 2100 in there
running at 266FSB. Not sure what the RAM is (any tool tell me that?).

I'd like to consider increasing the performance to it's maximum - how fast
can I push this board, i.e. what's the fastest Athlon XP I can us in it and
what RAM would I need to run at full bus speed (333FSB)?

Thanks, Rob.

AIDA32 will but they have pulled thier site for some reason but I bet
you can still find it somewhere.
