Because of the specifics of an ATX layout, it is recommended that the PIIX4E component is at the
"END" of the PCI bus, as shown in
signals.

Decoupling Guidelines: Intel
Decoupling caps should be placed at the corners of the 443GX(BGA Package). A minimum of four
0.1uF and four 0.01 uF are recommended. The system bus, AGP, PCI, and DRAM interface can
"break-out" from the BGA package on all four sides. Additional caps will also help reduce EMI
and cross-talk.

Note: There are other discrete components for V
routing around the 82443GX.
