does the PCI bus work well in that too? i've heard PCI bus problems in
pentium pro's...

also, is that natoma chipset same as this: (i got today new GVC made,
actually BCM did it but GVC owns it, pro board which has these 3 chips)

chip1  SB82391SB   L6032310   SU052
chip2  SB82441FX   L6124088   SU053
chip3  SB82442FX   L6124101   SU054

since i do not yet have CPU for the board i cannot test it yet... what
makes it interesting is the fact it's baby-at and eats oldfashion dc

ok, anyone familiar with the dual cpu performance of these boards/chipsets

side topic, any information about 430TX and 440LX? i've heard rumors...
