I'm quite sure the VX chipset has the same problem, and is limited to 64MB
cacheable
The Pentium2 with an older core can cache 512MB of RAM, but the newer ones
can cache 4GB of RAM. The Celerons can also all cache 4GB of RAM.
Most other chipsets cache different amounts depending on the L2
cache...with 512K cache most of those chipsets cache 64MB or 128MB...but
most cache at least 128MB and higher....
