Hey, if Intel were sharp, they'd do the same thing they did when they were making 486 SX or DX chips. I believe the deal with those were, they both were essentially the same chip except the SX had it's math co-processor disabled. With the Pentium III's, they could offer one with the e-commerce capability and one with the serial ID destroyed. This way, there is (almost) no way someone could ever goof and accidentally enable the serial # function. This way, privacy protection is truly at the discretion of the consumer. You don't want to be tracked? Buy the chip without the serial #. Just a thought
