I only really hate it for the fact I can't overclock the FSB much past 66mhz. I reach a freeze by 75mhz.
I'm also limited by the choice of AGP cards due to the voltage requirement of the early AGP slot, so the 1999-2000 gap of unregulated AGP video cards (mostly Nvidia TNT2/Geforce and S3 Savage4/2000 AGP 2x/4x cards) are a no-go in a 440LX, so you're stuck between a Voodoo and a Radeon/Kyro place... and although you can throw a Radeon in there, i'd choose the Voodoo3 for the greatest balance of support of legacy 3d capabilities (paletted texturing and table fog) and VGA.
Strange you'd pick the more uncommon cards for it.
I'm still unsure about a Pentium III in a 440LX. Most of the internet say "NO!!! ITS 100FSB YOUR SHIT OUT OF LUCK", so I never tried and just stuck with a PII 300. (Celeron 300A has no point in a 440LX)
