It is a workable combination, but i tihnk that if you buy a mobo with VIA or
SIS chipset you will improve the speed of your system. The intel triton
chipset family (FX,HX,VX,TX) is optimized for intel CPU's and i have heard
that VIA and SIS chipsets have better benchmarks with other CPU's, lika AMD
K6 and Cyrix M6.
