By and large, it is not the capacitance that matters, but the allowed current through the capacitors. Well, the ESR, as without it. If the 3300 uF capacitor has a ESR and the allowable current is two times better than that of 1500, then you can set 1 instead of 2.

The appeal of the 440BX chipset is that it's very fast ( usually faster than the i815 chipset in games ), ~1% faster then i815 :-) Don't think I understood what you meant here PC133 CL2 RAM has less input capacitance, then CL3.Not much, just 10 percent. But 4 double-sided modules is about another …

I think "business class" is a vague distinction. It's like a business jet The charm of minimalist high-end products. :-) Motherboards from Intel, Fujitsu and Siemens are greatly underestimated. The beauty of them is that they just work and don't cause problems. Out of 100+ 440BX boards tested in …

i815+ Aureal Vortex 2 is considered a rather problematic bundle under Windows 9x. Rumor has it that Vortex only works properly on BX.

I’ve noticed geforce 5 series compatibility being a little spotty on 586, some have gotten them to work though. The Radeon 9800 has a consumption of 50-60W and half of it comes from the 3.3V bus. Because of this, you can get problems even on the first generations of motherboards on the S370, not …
