I am thinking about replacing my motherboard and
have done some research.  (Tom's Hardware Guide,
arstechnica, and Nospin.)  I am not sure how to
interpret some of what I have seen.  They seem to
say that the BX chipset with 100 memory is as fast
as or faster than the Via chipset with 133 memory.
(In other words, the BX chipset is much better.)
Yet, they also seem to say the opposite.  Confusing
things more, they sometime overclock the stuff to
use in their comparisons.  (I am NOT interested in
overclocking.)  The difference in price in the memory
is small, but I would like to get the better performing
motherboard.  Has anybody read more benchmark
comparisons on these that would shed any light?
(I am currently considering the ASUS P3V4X as
top slot one candidate with a 667EB cpu.)

TIA
