The PIIX4E is the replacement for the end of lifed PIIX4. The PIIX4E is form, fit, and functionally identical to the PIIX4, but it has added Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (APCI) power management capability. The PIIX4E Specification Update can be downloaded from the developer’s web site.
