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. -bill
