Unless you need more than 512MB RAM (or 128MB using 4MB SIMMs) then you
only need the CPU board.  It takes two VME slots, but has 4 sbus slots
onboard for expansion.  For the most part, additional VME cards are only
needed if you must support legacy hardware.  Sbus is much faster and the
cards are plentiful.

Stock up on 4MB 80ns or faster 30-pin SIMMs.  You'll need them.
