Can somebody tell me what types of resistors these are?  What keywords and descriptions to look for?

I'm using 1.5K (in an 0805 package) as R1, and the 16Mhz crystals are from a chinese eBay seller.  I've got some 16Mhz, 20Mhz & 24Mhz crystals coming from Digikey and will replace the current crystals shortly and post the results.  I'm looking to get the same speed Bluestreak66 has reported with a 16Mhz crystal.

Be aware that not all resistor are created equal most are 5% and good ones are 1% but some off ebay can be factory seconds and be off by 10% or more. If your getting them off ebay check the resistance before soldering them to confirm it's correct. Here are the ones that I've been using http://tinyurl.com/lzpfjbr
