Intel is a hit and miss. Like Ron says you just have to ask.. We
looked at trying to use the 440MX chipset to replace our 44BX based
board and was told that even though Bitworks already has an NDA in place
with Arrow (Arrow is our Intel vendor) we were going to have to sigh a
extra Double-dog secret NDA for 440MX info. (The 'red' cover agreement
rather than the 'yellow' cover agreemnet) and it was very doubtful that
any of that stuff would be releaseable under GPL code. So we had to
bail and stick with the 440bx which has almost all the info available on
the website.
