The last couple we bought were SuperMicro 370DLE dual PIII motherboards.
These use one of the Serverworks chipsets and have a couple of 64-bit/66MHz
PCI slots. They are reasonably cheap compared to some others. I believe
there is a version with on-board SCSI (probably Adaptec) and the integrated
ATA controller is not ATA/100, but for a cpu server those don't really
matter.
Quads are few and use Xeon processors and are not cheap. Our main cpu server
is still a 3 year old quad 400MHz Xeon system using the AMI Megaplex motherboard.
It cost ~$30K in 1998 with 2GB memory.

Somewhere I remember reading that Plan 9 would only support machines
with up to some strange amount of RAM; something along the lines of
1.5 or 1.75GB. This would seem to contradict that; what's the max
amount of RAM that Plan 9 *can* support?

There's 2GB physical but because of the way we currently map things
we can only use 1.75GB. It's on the list of things to fix.
