Yea, checkout http://developer.intel.com/design/pcisets/desktop.htm AFAIK: All the chipsets support >=256MB memory. The L2 cache can address all 256MB on a HX chipset, but only 64MB on VX, TX, and FX, ie. a ~10% hit in memory performance is more mem than 64MB on a non-HX. Of course it's best to go with Pentium Pro/Pentium II ie. 440FX/440LX. These address upto 512MB/1GB mem. With >256MB cacheable. Something like that. Read the docs.
