Without inserting the second cache tag into Asus T2P4 (HX chipset), the maximum cacheable RAM is limited to 64MB.

If you have 128MB RAM on T2P4 without the 2nd cache tag, the first 64MB RAM is uncached while the 2nd 64MB RAM cached. Thus, your 128MB T2P4 performance would be noticeably degraded. On Business Winstone97 benchmark, you could get more than 15% rating off from the 64MB system.

Did you put the 2nd cache tag on your 128MB T2P4 server? In my last test, T2P4 has a big problem as server: it could not be waken up by HD activity once in power saving mode. TXPro or SP97-V don't have this problem. BTW, we are still using AMD486DX3-150 as NW server in our office.
