<I hope that makes it clearer to everyone just what the problem is with the Intel PIII CPU-ID. The FSB is the successor to the KGB.> Remember that flap with the Windows 98 ID being transmitted to Microsoft headquarters without anyone's knowledge, even when the user specifically requests that no hardware-specific info be sent? Remember how every Office 97 document has an identifier related to the machine where it was created? I hope this makes it clear to you that the problem you are mentioning is already possible without the Pentium III serial number. The problem doesn't lie within the processor serial number itself, even though the privacy advocates are trying desperately to convince the public otherwise. Rather, the processor serial number brings to light the issue that online privacy has already been in jeopardy for quite a while now. Tenchusatsu
