I know very little about the internals of Intel architecture boards.
However, I *do* know that for most architectures, this just plain isn't
true. And juding from the beasts that Microsoft used in their infamous
Mindcraft benchmarks (1GB RAM for a "small business?") I don't think this
is true for Intel boards either.
I have yet to see a motherboard that actually slows down with more RAM.
Maybe some OS with poor memory management might slow down...
