If I use a Resonator that has built in caps, should I still put external 22pf caps around it or none at all?
Thanks,

3-pin resonators with built-in caps do not need external caps.
Yep what Bruce said.
Also, the center pin is always ground and the other two pins connect to OSC1 and OSC2.
Heres a link to the catalog page of Digikey.

We only use Resonators...
You don't need capacitators and they are cheap ! They are great !
(Do you really need a precisious timebase ?)
Actually I'm ordering some from rentron.com as well as some PIC 16F877's to go on the Proto64 board.
