I believe all Intel Pentium chipsets could only cache the first 64meg
like the MX, VX, TX. The first intel chipset that could cache over 64meg
was the Pentium Pro chipset (440FX) and the later Pentium II chipsets
(440LX, 440BX) and Xeon chipsets (440GX, 450NX).

How many megs can the chipset Intel MX of the TP760XL/XD cache?
The TX chipset e.g. could cache max. 64MB.
