There may be other reasons for IBM going with VIA's chipset, including the 440BX shortage during the summer, VIA's low price for their chipset, and the advantages of having more than one chipset provider. But it's obvious to me that performance isn't one of those reasons.

It has more 'feature bullets' than BX - that's probably the main reason.
