**82430NX PCIset (Pentium) NX (Neptune) (82433NX/82434NX) Mar94
***Notes:...
***Info:...
***Configurations:
Parts:
Intel 82434NX (PCMC) PCI/CACHE/MEMORY CONTROLLER
Intel 82433NX (LBX) LOCAL BUS ACCELERATOR
ISA (single CPU):
82434NX + 2x 82433NX + 82378IB
82434NX + 2x 82433NX + 82378ZB
The main difference between the 82378IB and 82378ZB is the number of
PCI masters supported. See the 82378 section for details. The
pairing with the IB variant is unlikely as it was outdated when the
430NX was introduced.
ISA (Dual CPU):
82434NX + 2x 82433NX + 82379AB
EISA:
Intel 82434NX + 2x 82433NX + 82374EB + 82375EB
Intel 82434NX + 2x 82433NX + 82374SB + 82375SB
The main difference between the EB and SB variants is that the SB
includes power management options. It was released later when
various enhancements had been made to the EB variant. See the
82374/82375 section for details. It is unlikely the EB variant is
paired with this chipset as it was replaced by the SB, when the
430NX was being introduced.
These chipsets are often paired with the SMC 665 for I/O support or
the NCR 810 for SCSI.
According to a Usenet post in comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware.chips from '94,
there are at least 2 revisions of this chipset. The latter resolves
some issues with posted buffered writes.

information in the configurations section and below have been sourced

"Although the 82497 Cache Controller is part of the Pentium processor
(735\90, 815\100, 1000\120, 1110\133) CPU-Cache Chip Set and the 82496
Cache Controller is part of the Pentium Processor (510\60, 567\66)
Chip Set, the two parts are functionally identical except for the
differences noted in this section." - p491
Aside from some minor differences in pin configuration, the main
difference is the direct support for 3.3V processors. This chipset is
still a 5V part. The cache operates at bus speed, max 66MHz.
This chip was used on the Pentium 90MHz CPU complexes of Intel's
Xpress platform. Specifically the BXCPUPENT90 (Single 90MHz, 16
82492s). Also found on IBM 9595/Server 500 Pentium 90MHz complexes.
