Perhaps. I read some stuff on Tom's hardware pages that shows that the BX
chipset with PC133 SDRAM will kick the newer chipsets pretty little asses. I
have to admit Tom had to overclock it for that, which is not what you'd do
on a server.

Even if you're not going for to scrape the bottom of the can for
performance, the BX chipset is a proven one, as someone pointed out earlier.
