I've not much experience with them, but they seem OK. Better than the Dell's
people around here were buying. The Millenia I tried worked without problem (Teac
6X ATAPI CD-ROM). The video card is a Diamond Stealth 2001, the one with the
ARK2000 chip and it works fine. My favourite VGA card right now is the Hercules
Stingray 64/V and this one is more or less the same. I'm trying to get
someone to test the aux/vga changes for the older Stealth 64 VRAM which is
quite popular (note that ALL Diamond cards are 'Stealth's...) and higher-end.

Aside from that, do you recommend Micron?  I notice that they use the
Diamond Stealth 64 Video, for which I thought people had previously
reported problems.
