    What exact motherboard do you have?
    We will need a make and model number to be of assistance.

    You're looking for DDR2 PC2-4200 RAM for that board, or DDR PC-3200.
    And as for the CPU, Pentium 4 may be a little hard to find right now because it's obsolete.
    As far as I am aware they will usually come with a heatsink and fan, I'm not sure how easy it is to fanlessly/passively cool a P4 as they generate a lot of heat.

      I would def not try a 3.* Ghz CPU with out atleast a sizeable heatsink, not sure that would even work with out a fan..Im sure it's not recommended

      I don't understand why you call it a fanless MBoard...an Intel CPU will ship with a heatsink and fan. These have to be used or you will melt the CPU.
