HX supports and can cache 512MB, I think the VX supports 128MB and the
TX 256MB,
but both can only cache 64MB.  TX and VX support SDRAM, HX doesn't.
best of both worlds is the via VP3 or upcoming MVP3:  SDRAM, agressive
memory timing, and 512MB cacheable.  MVP3 will support 100 mhz. bus
speed.

I'd say you probably won't notice a difference what CPU you have as long
as you
have a good video card.  I have a K5-133, and I can't tell the
difference between
it and the P-133s I use at school, if anything I'd say mine is faster, 
but I bet my video card is faster too.
Spend the money you save buying a non-intel CPU on a fast graphics card,
or 3d-accelerator.
