Review of Pentium II Boards with Intel's 440LX Chipset

Windows 95 Performance

Comparing 440FX with 440LX boards shows that there is a performance lead of the 440LX boards indeed. This lead isn't much, but particularly the High End Winstone 97 scores significantly higher on a 440LX board, probably due to the increased usage of memory, which most of the high end applications require. If main memory has to be accessed instead of L2 cache, the SDRAM architecture has a speed advantage over EDO.
