Does anyone know if UMBPCI.SYS supports the Intel i3/i5 processors? Or is it on the list of unsupported?

Also, I'm not sure at what chipset Intel stopped supporting the PCI bus natively. Don't they use some kind of PCIe/PCI bridge these days? I don't want to build a PC 'new' enough that it won't support DOS memory management.

From the UMBPCI homepage:

The Intel Core i7, i5 and i3 CPUs include a memory controller, so UMBPCI has to deal with it instead of the chipset. Here is a test version:

It is reported so work on some machines and to fail on others, I don't know why...
