Either a HX-based board such as the T2P4 from ASUS or one based on the
VIA-2 chipset (I don't think it has the limitation of TX/VX).

With the ASUS T2P4 you have to make sure you buy a tag ram chip that
the board doesn't come with.  This chip is necessary to allow the
board to cache more than 64meg.

At least the one I got needed this.
