Default Ultra 2 upgrades

I recently inherited a couple of Ultra 2 systems, which I'd like to use
as home workstations.

They came loaded with I/O I don't need (qfes and ethernet/scsi combos),
but are a bit short of CPU and memory - 1 x 300Mhz and 256MB.

I'm thinking I should sell the extra I/O cards, add second CPUs, and at
least double the memory. Is this a reasonable approach?

Is there a better way than eBay to buy U2 CPUs and RAM in Canada? What
do I need to know in order to be sure I buy compatible parts at fair prices?

TIA
