I've never seen a TX board be MORE expensive than an HX board. HX
boards support more memory, can cache more (though usually need
more tag ram), and usually have more SIMM slots (my Tyan Tomcat I
has eight SIMM Slots, which is something that was very important
to me). HX boards are usually about 20-30 dollars more from the 
same company, in my experience.
