Although it's true that the TX will only cache 64MB, I've been using 128MB on a TX board for six months now (with NT 4) and I haven't noticed any dropoff in real world performance.

I've read somewhere that you'll have a 5-10% performance hit in benchmark figures if you go above 64MB, but it still beat's working off the paging file.

On a different topic, does anyone have any experience with Quad CPU motherboards? I need to build a workstation for Graphic work (3D modeling) and I'm having a hard time finding a motherboard. The only one I've found so far is the AMI Goliath.
