   I hear a rumour that Intel have discontinued production of the HX
chipset.  If this is the case then what remains in the retail
channel will be the last.
   This also means that those who want a PC with more than 64Mb
memory, or twin processors (the main reasons for buying HX) will
now have to look at the Pentium II boards.
