You could put that in, but the limited cache lines meant that the
machine would slow to a crawl once you hid the limit.. the problem was
well known, but nobody much cared as that was a lot of memory back then.

8.4GB BIOS limitation... It got worked around in Win95 OSR2 but it's
still not uncommon today for machines to ship with 2GB boot partitions.

It might work but isn't supported due to processor issues being reported
in the past... no testing is done on such old machines.
