Hello everyone, this is cool alternative besides 3Dfx, Nvidia stricte 1997 gaming PC based on Intel components.

Intel AL440LX Motherboard
Cool features:
SD RAM for the first time
AGP x2 for the first time
full USB support
Intel 82371AB (PIIX4)
SCSI Hard Disk Drives support
optional on board:
Yamaha OPL3-SA codec audio component
Yamaha OPL4-ML wavetable synthesizer component
Optional Yamaha wavetable module headers
Infrared Support
Phoenix BIOS
on-board POST speaker


The PIIX4 is a multifunction PCI device implementing the PCI-to-ISA bridge, PCI IDE
functionality, Universal Serial Bus (USB) host/hub function, and enhanced power management.
The PIIX4 comes in a 324-pin MBGA package that features:
• Multifunction PCI-to-ISA bridge
- Support for the PCI bus at 33 MHz
- Compliance with PCI specification (see Section 6.2 for specification information)
- Full ISA or extended I/O (EIO) bus support
• USB controller
- Two USB ports (see Section 6.2 for compliance level)
- Support for legacy keyboard and mouse
- Support for UHCI design guide revision 1.1 interface
• Integrated dual-channel enhanced IDE interface
- Support for up to four IDE devices
- PIO Mode 4 transfers at up to 16 MB/sec
- Support for Ultra DMA/33 synchronous DMA mode transfers up to 33 MB/sec
- Bus master mode with an 8 x 32-bit buffer for bus master PCI IDE burst transfers
• Enhanced DMA controller
- Two 8237-based DMA controllers
- Support for PCI DMA with three PC/PCI channels and distributed DMA protocols
- Fast type-F DMA for reduced PCI bus usage
• Interrupt controller based on 82C59
- Support for 15 interrupts
- Programmable for edge/level sensitivity
• Power management logic
- Sleep/resume logic
- Support for wake-on-modem through Ring Indicator input
• Real-Time Clock
- 256 byte battery-backed CMOS SRAM
- Includes date alarm
• 16-bit counters/timers based on 82C54


The Accelerated Graphics Port (A.G.P.) is a high-performance interconnect for graphic-intensive
applications, such as 3D applications. A.G.P. is independent of the PCI bus and is intended for
exclusive use with graphical-display devices. A.G.P. provides these performance features:
• Pipelined-memory read and write operations that hide memory access latency
• Demultiplexing of address and data on the bus for near 100 percent bus efficiency
• AC timing for 133 MHz data transfer rates, allowing data throughput of 500 MB/sec
• A.G.P. complies with the 66 MHz PCI specification.


Intel still got some drivers for it's legacy products:
