"–Xfce 

MX-25.2_Xfce_x64, standard Debian 6.12 64 bit kernel and hardware support 
from Debian Stable. Suitable if your PC is a few years old.
MX-25.2_Xfce_ahs_x64, an “Advanced Hardware Support” release for very 
recent hardware, with 7.07 kernel and newer graphics drivers and 
firmware."

"This new repo section is a little bit of an experiment. If you are 
perfectly happy with the stable repos and graphics stack, there is no real 
reason to add the ahs repo to your sources."

You pays yer money and you makes your choice. I don't have any very new 
hardware to worry about.
