I hadn't heard they'd stopped production on HX... Anyway, look for a board based on the VIA VP-2 like the PA-2007. Fast and stable, up to 1mb L2 cache and can cache up to 512mb of memory. Can only get to 256mb using sdram, though. There's also a new SiS chipset that can cache 512mb and I hear it's good, but I have no experience with it.
