WRONG! They USUALLY call the VX the triton III! The HX is > sometimes called triton III! > Sorry to be rude, but get a life dude! Your crusade to stamp out "Triton III" is worthless. Almost everyone calls the VX a III. While you may not know what anyone is talking about, everyone else does. I could care less on II vs III. I just ordered an HX board because research of others opinions who know more indicate it has better performance for most things. I didn't care whether it was "Triton II" or whatever. In my research however, on the WWW, in computer shopper, etc., I never saw someone call the HX a "III," only the "VX." ANd as Mr Lambert said, Intel may not make the distinction, but it seems almost everyone else does. best regards Chad
