That can probably be best answered by the documents on www.intel.com 
relating
to PCI chipsets.

Triton I is the 430FX.
Triton II is the 430HX and 430VX.

The HX is a lower cost version, with a smaller parts count.  It was intended
for systems w/o secondary cache, although I believe it can support a 2nd 
level
cache.

The VX is the highest performance version, and the only one that supports
SDRAM
in addition to regular fast page mode DRAM and EDO DRAM.

The HX and VX both use the PIIX3, which supports USB (Universal Serial Bus) 
in
addition to supposedly enhanced IDE over the PIIX.

All of these can be used with P54C and P55C systems up to 200MHz.  As far as
the PCI chipset is concerned, there is no difference between a P54 133, 166,
or
200MHz CPU, they all use a 66MHz local memory bus.
