Yes, it depends entirely upon the chipset -- it'a always been that way.

My old gigabyte motherboard and K6-200 (first version) always worked
fine (and is still working fine as far as I know - I sold it a couple of
years
ago.) with a mix of SIMMs and one dimm.  It's got 4x 8 meg SIMMs and 1x
32 meg pc66 dimm.  Some motherboards must be better at memory management
than others!
