I'm currently running a K6/233 w/ 128 megs of EDO in my proxy server. It's been working great so far under the light load; 20 day uptime at the moment. (Running FreeBSD) I got the chip a few months ago, I believe it was manufactured some time in 5/97 Perhaps you're thinking of the Intel 430FX, VX and TX chipsets which have a limitation in which the L2 cache is disabled when more than 64 megs of RAM is used? Just get a very big heatsink and fan for it and keep it ventilated and it should be fine.
