FAQ of MLX8440 Motherboard


What are the difference between MLX8440 and MLX8440-OS.

"OS" stands for "Sound chip on board."


Why can't I fully shut off the PC power in DOS mode?

If you are using the power switch on the motherboard, the switch should be pressed for more than 4 seconds in DOS mode to fully shut off power. Otherwise the motherboard will be in "Green" mode only.


Is the S3 VIRGE/DX card compatible with the LX motherboard?

The S3 Virge-based VGA card is the most popular product for high performance 3D graphics in Pentium (or equivalent) systems. However, the Pentium II and 440LX based motherboard has incompatibility problems with the card. For this reason, many motherboard and VGA card manufacturers have put updated versions into the market. Ask the LX M/B supplier to provide you with the information to solve any problems. The Sales Support Department of DataExpert is willing to verify the compatibility test before your purchase. If your LX M/B supplier was unable to solve the problem, we are able to offer a compatible S3 Virge-based VGA card. By presenting the M/B, pre-testing will be more efficient. Please notify us if there are any problems.
