Yep. Another suggestion would be to chase down a Challenge L backplane,
you can then run three IP19s, IP21s or IP25s. I saw an L backplane with
power boards for $100USD on ebay a week or so ago.

IP21s (ie. dual R8000 @ 75 or 90MHz) are especially good value for those
interested in fp work.

Thanks for the info, but will it be enough for me just to get the Challenge L backplane? Will I need additional parts to complete the upgrade e.g. the power supply?
