Hawk motherboards

I have recently been looking at Hawk mother boards and am wondering what
experience people have with running Unix (expecially ESIX) with them.
They claim to support 64megs+a huge cache on some of the boards, does any
one know if ESIX could make use of the entire 64megs on a Hawk board?
Many of the kernel tunable parameters seem to have rather low upper limits,
is it possible to safetly exceed some or all of these? 

For any one collecting Esix compatibility info I am currently using
the following hardware and it appears to be working well:
VIP 386sx motherboard with 8megs, (ram shadowing disabled)
8 bit STB vga card (works only in the generic VGA modes)
DTK Courier I/O card
Logitech mouse card
DTC 7287 RLL harddrive controller (kalok 32meg+65 meg mitsubishi)
