I can't think of any motherboards for Pentium II/III/IV,Celerons,Athlons or
Durons for which this will apply as they all have onboard 2nd level cache
with the exception of the early celerons (266 & 300 [plain 300]). The 266 &
300 celerons were pathetic due to a complete lack of 2nd level cache.
The only limit that I can remember is 64MB for Intel TX chipset which was
for Pentium I.
