Actually I think that this is an LX board (if > that's even one of the choices). What's the technical reason that VX/TX > boards can't have more than 64 MB? The VX and TX chipsets won't cache more than 64 MB. You can put more RAM in, but everything slows down. For > 64 MB use HX, Via VP-2 or a new SiS chipset board (eg. GigaByte 586S).
