I'll tell you what I THINK I know about the 440FX chipset (aka Natoma). >From Intel, a lower cost/chip count alternative to 450[GV]X (aka Orion). It supports (on my board) 2 CPU's, EDO, BEDO, FPM RAM. It DOESN'T support memory interleaving or DIMMS as the Orion does. However, as we know, Orion has had mucho problemos. I'd guess the Natoma is a workstation chipset and the Orion is designed to be a server chipset. BTW, I'm seeing bare bones (1 CPU, case, ps, motherboard with support 2 CPU's ) for about $1600.
