No, it's not.  The 440fx does not include an IOAPIC, for example.  There 
may be other optional components, or differences in wiring, that make 
two machines with i440fx not identical.

Surely the connection is via a bus?  An x86 cpu talks to the bus, and 
there happens to be an 440fx north bridge at the end of it.  It could 
also be a Q35 or something else.
