I have 160 MB memory, multiple disks, a Millenium I, the same SCSI host adaptor, an old CD-ROM changer and multiple tapes, but the heart is in the right place. I'm using a RISE Mustang R581A, which has a (currently unused) AGP port. I bought it in Singapore, mainly because it was the only thing that supported more than 64 MB cached memory. It uses the SIS 5591/5595 chip set, which doesn't get the highest marks, but so far I've been pretty happy with it.
