Even if you don't like the chipset, which I disagree with, the   
Triton is great.  The major advantage that it has over previous   
chipsets is its support for pipelined burst SRAM cache.  Intel   
predicted a 30% overall SYSTEM (not just motherboard) jump due   
to the new technology.  PC Labs ran tests with Triton chipsets   
and Neptune chipsets to try to confirm this claim and they got   
results that range from 18-24% system proformance gains. 
 
I personally would go with the Triton. 
 
BTW, the Triton chipset supports the new Mode 4 >528MB FAST   
ATA-2/EIDE Hard Drives with really nice Bus Mastering system   
that reduces the load on the CPU.
