Hi guys,

You'll know me as one of the driving forces keeping our i440BX port alive. I did see the two latest patches trying to modernize it and I swear I'll get to it soon, because to be honest, that P2B-LS board has a special place in my mind and is not going away, although it is not seeing much use anymore in practice, which brings me to my next step and question.

I have three more modern boards (read: 2012 and they share the same 16GB pair of DDR3L memory modules) with cousins already in the tree but not the exact model. I do know I need to get some info in, but I want to get a take on which one will have the best chance to get a working port first:

Lenovo ThinkPad X230 Tablet. This is now my daily machine. Due to some snafu on my part I bought a second unit with only Wacom pen but no touch. The non-tablet X230 is in the tree and there were some notes on tablet hardware. I need to buy a test clip to access the flash chip. Now I wonder if this guy is "already" supported.

Asus M4A785TD-M EVO. AM3, family 10h, closest cousin was m4a785t-m, but I don't know where it went now.

Asus P8Z77-M. Closest cousin is p8z77-m_pro. Mine is not pro, but I don't know off my head what the difference is. And I get to deal with ME.


More info once I get back to my desktop.
