Almost; those motherboards would only support caching up to 64mb of RAM.
More than that, and they'd turn it off completely. For some applications, it
meant that more RAM actually killed performance (I was doing 3d modelling
back then, and it was certainly true in that case). You had to have an HX
chipset if you wanted decent performance with lots of RAM.
I *thought* we didn't have stupid bollocks like that going on these days.
