Short answer: HX
Mainly because the HX can cache 512Mb of ram. The VX can only cache 64Mb
of ram. Go higher, and you get a performance hit. 

Long answer: take a look at Tom's Hardware Guide at http://sysdoc.pair.com
There's information on processors, chipsets, motherboards etc. Very highly
recommended.
