So, that settles the HiNT vs. PLX question. In fact, HiNT got bought by PLX in 2003. The G450 PCI DVI I recently had at hand uses a HiNT branded PCI/PCI bridge. To get it run stable at 40MHz (e.g. for an 5x86 at 160MHz), I needed to add a heatsink to that bridge chip.

Makes sense as my Parhelia 256 pci uses a HiNT branded chip but most of the Parhelia 256 pci I see use the PLX branded ones, I always figured my card was a earlier version than most I see.
