Um, nope, you're wrong.  The VX chipset will NOT cache more than 64MB.

Okay, here is the REAL chipset poop, once and for all!
                  Intel 430HX     Intel 430VX    VIA Apollo VP-1/VP-2
Max. Cache         512KB           512KB         2048KB
DRAM Cacheablity   64 or 512MB     64MB          64 or 512MB
EDO Read Timings   4222/5222       5222/6222     4222/5222
     (60/66 mhz)
CPU Write buffer   8QW w/merge     4QW           16QW w/merge
SDRAM support      no              yes            yes

Don't believe everything you read on IRC.  He was thinking Triton I.
Triton II will happily cache lots more than 64mb if you have enough tag.
On a Tomcat I|II|III (popular Triton II board), you can cache up to 64mb
by default, or 512mb if you buy/install an extra tag chip.
If you had 96mb on a Triton I, the last 1/3 of your RAM would not be
cached, and if you actually used that RAM, things would possibly slow
down.
