Go with Intel, 100% compatability and a stronger FPU.

Go with Intel for the same reasons above.

I use two WD Caviar 2.1 GB drives and love 'em. Very fast, reliable and a
company that's offers real tech. support.

Performance wise, they will never differ more than 3-5% performance wise.
The HX chipset offers more aggressive DRAM timings, but the VX chipset
supports SDRAM. One other difference is that the HX (256MB compared to 128MB
I think) can handle more RAM and can cache twice as much too (128MB compared
to 64MB).
