Ali - Re: "..others have completely dismanteled my position
about useless i440LX"

Just to remind you of your wrong assessment of the 440LX - independent benchmarks - REAL BENCHMARKS - verify the imoproved memory access times with the 440LX vs the 440FX chip set when used with the Pentium II.

The net result is that the 440LX is a big omprovement - verified by these folks whose URL you uncovered for us all (ps. - Thanks!)

Ali - Re: "LX test results (P-II, 128MB SDRAM, etc., etc): +-1.5%
compared to 440FX !!!!!!"

The folks who did the testing ran many benchmarks - you did
them and yourself a disservice to report only one.

Here are two additional ones that you "failed" to report:

{===================}
We also used Stream under Linux to test memory I/O. The
440LX averaged 174.0MB/S while the 440FX measured
98.3MB/S. That's a 77% improvement in the newer
technology.

Running Java Stream Under NT to measure memory
performance indicated that the 440LX is 25.4% faster than the
440FX.
