Intel® 440BX AGPset Design Guide

This document provides design guidelines for developing Pentium® II processor / Intel® 440BX AGPset based systems. Motherboard and memory subsystem design guidelines are covered. Special design recommendations and concerns are presented. Likely design issues have been identified and included in a checklist format to alleviate problems during the debug phase. Two reference board designs are presented:

Single processor (UP), 3 DIMM design
Dual processor (DP), 4 DIMM design

These designs use the Pentium II processor and Intel 440BX AGPset consisting of the 82443BX Host Bridge and the 82371EB PIIX4E.

Note: The Pentium® II processor may be installed in a Slot 1 connector. The Pentium II processor will also be offered as an Intel boxed processor, intended for system integrators who build systems from motherboards and other components. Some hints for early debug problems are also included.
