I always considered the 430VX chipset Intel's lower end offering for 1996 given the decreased memory limits (128MB/64MB cacheable vs. 512/512 on the 430HX), no parity/ECC and absence/reduction of performance features present in the HX. It also lacks SMP (though of course that's irrelevant in single-CPU boards).
I don't think the board offers any OC settings either. It's still a decent board but would you really call it high end?
The VX doesn't support UDMA, does it?
Unless I'm missing something, the 430TX chipset is better than the VX in every way. Going for the HX makes sense if more than 64MB RAM is needed, but in most cases, a Win95 system would not benefit much from that.
