Robert,
to my mind no AGP enabled chipsets and peripherals exist yet (oficially !). If you exclude the Intel TX offering because You would need more than 64MB main memory cached onboard, I can only tell You that the Intel HX would be next to go, being second fastest. ASUS P55-T2P4 mainboard can go up to busspeeds of 83Mhz, whereby 75Mhz busspeed is in the mainboard docu. I'm using this myself on a Cyrix 6x86-P166 but running it at 150Mhz with 75Mhz busspeed.

Next in performance come the VIA chipsets VP1 and VP2. Since VIA is a subsidiary of FIC you can look no further than VIA's parent and find the FIC PA-2010 mainboard that uses it. However its performance is a little bit below Intel HX, but definitely better than offerings on the SIS-571 chipset. Anyway searching for a high-power chipset is a good thing to start - not the mainboard, because equally designed mainboards (I mean w/o glitches) can be judged to be on similar performance terms.

Greetings,
CROSSY
