     No, that is a completely different problem. Most Socket 7 Intel
chipsets (the HX being the only one that doesn't necessarily have this
limitation, it depends on what TAG SRAM chip you have) L2 cache up to the
first 64MB or memory. You CAN add more, however only the first 64MB is
cached. This may or not be much of an issue for you depending on what OS you
use. The highest performance hit is with the Win9x (and WinME) operating
systems since they like to put stuff in the upper end of the memory range.
