I've done it in software using an Amiga500 with an MTec Viper/030 clocked at 50MHz using 40ns simms rated for 133MHz.  Running at full speed no less.  The key, don't use any screenmode past 4 colors and avoid overscanning.  I've also done software mp3 playing using a Derringer030 overclocked from 50MHz to 66MHz.  The Derringer was a much nicer accel (features wise), but the MTec Viper was definately built better.

When I had my CSPPC a 128bit only took 9% of the load from the PPC where as a 192bit took only 7% using a custom GUI driven ConciertoMpega.  I probably could have dropped the cpu usage even lower... I mean, it was a decked system.
