If you plan on studying for the CCNA you need more memory. You should upgrade your memory to 16MB/16MB. You will need IOS 12.x to do most of the stuff on the CCNA. You can get a 16MB stick on ebay really cheap.

Will I need a boot upgrade chip or just the DRAM and flash module?

I would strongly recommend upgrading your boot chip as well.

To run 16mb intel flash (most of the ones you ebay) you need a bootrom software of atlease 10.2
