Wow. thats quite a different story that what I got.  Intel is so
inconsistent sometimes.  I tried to get the register documentation
for the 440MX (note MX not BX which I already have) and not only do
you have to be under the standard NDA you have to go get a under an
extra double-dog-secret NDA which my Intel rep said "is quite
difficult to get"  So we bailed on the 440MX and are going to respin
our BX version.

Any possibility you could put me in touch with your Intel contact? 
Perhaps he could shed some light on why the 440MX is so shrouded.
