Dear All,
the present "CHAPTER" in my one-week independent crash course on 
"what PC should I buy" concerns the motherboard.

A PC I am interested in buying has a VX motherboard, which I like
because it comes with 512Kb cache.
Considered that I am interested in buying a processor "intel 166MMX" or 
"AMD K6 MMX Enhanced 166MHz" is there any reason not to 
take a VX motherboard ?
In any case what is the difference between VX, HX and TX ?
Which is best?

I also wonder if anyone can tell me about the reliability of 
the "AMD K6 MMX Enhanced 166MHz".
Should I "play it safe" and go for the intelMMX ?

Please send your comments/suggestions directly to
                  Giovanni.Amelino-Camelia@cern.ch
Thanks in advance, Giovanni
