I'm searching for ACPI BIOS (Award) for i440LX chipset based board with ITE8679 Super I/O. I want to test on my PC Chips M715 board.
BTW.: What's the difference between ITE8679 and ITE8671? I can't find datasheet for any of them.

System BIOS - Award Plug and Play BIOS supports PnP, АРМ, DMI, ACPI and Auto-shutdown
I guess they lied in the specs.

Common thing - ACPI is listed in specs for almost all boards but is often not present in the BIOS.

Is it possible to use a Bios for a 440EX Board ??

Should be - EX is the same chipset as LX (BX=ZX too).

Does EX support 2 or 3 PCI Slot ?

Oh, looking in the datasheets. The differences are:
EX has no SMP support
EX has 256MB RAM max. - only 4 RAS lines (instead of 8 ), no ECC,
EX supports only 3 PCI masters (instead of 5)
