This is not a Windows issue at all.  Windows will be happy to use more
than 64 megs.  But unless you have a specific chipset,  you will be
unable to cache more than 64 megs, thereby actually slowing down
your system if you exceed that amount.

Unfortunately, the HX chipsets, which allow for caching in excess of
64 megs, have been discontinued, and apparently none can now
be gotten.

I'd love to have someone prove me wrong on this last point.  ;-)
