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. (heat grease is a good idea, too)
