The main benefit will be the increased speed to access memory (50% faster bus to memory). This will allow memory-intensive apps to perform better, and if you use an AGP video card, it will be able to perform better at 2x mode.<<<
The above is a response to the following question

Gregory,
Due to project deadlines, waiting until mid-april is not out of the
question, but will present some problems. Because 384/512 memory is
OK for my needs, do you think I would get other significant benefits
from the BX chipset. I've seen this chipset mentioned, but do not
really understand its benefits for a server application, other than
the increased memory. Although I would prefer an Intel MB, I noticed
an ASUS, P2L97-DS that seems to have all the features I'm looking for
(Dual slots, 512KB cache, 512meg SDRAM, on-board SCSI, ATX form factor. I believe the Supercom P6DLS has the same feature set.<<<
