According to c't it is based on "Synfinity Interconnects"
and a NUMA architecture.

Here's the addressable memory according to chipset table:
http://developer.intel.com/design/pcisets/linecard.htm
440EX 256Mbyte the 'Celeron chipset'
440FX 1Gbyte the old PPro chipset, no SDRAM/AGP
440LX 1Gbyte EDO the 66MHz chipset with SDRAM and AGP
512Mbyte SDRAM
440BX 1Gbyte the 'current chipset' with 100MHz
440GX 2Gbyte server chipset
440NX 8Gbyte server chipset
So you need an NX chipset in order to run into serious
problems with Linux. You also need a newish P-II that can
cache over 512MB. The NX chipset doesn't support SDRAM,
AGP, or Power management.
