Interesting thanks Jim, 

I note for me it is 440 BX and not 440BX!:

pfSense:~#  dmesg | grep 440
pcib0: <Intel 82443BX (440 BX) host to PCI bridge> pcibus 0 on motherboard

Kind regards
David

NB: This is a dual CPU Intel LG440BX board with 2xPIII-800. The consumer
version may behave differently, but I don't believe I still have any of
those in place anywhere.
