I did find this article interesting: boxmakers b*tching about Intel designing encryption hardware into flash memory based BIOS, to reside in upcoming chipsets Camino, Carmel and Whitney. I didn't see that they (boxmakers) had any alternative plan, however. Hardware encryption is killer, if done right. In IBM machines, if the blue guy detects any physical tampering, he shuts himself down completely...no data to steal. Also whining, besides the boxmakers, may be the FTC, as Intel may be grabbing off one more PC function to themselves, article says. Concern: Could you ever take you're new fancy encryption-enabled machine out of the US or would you be violating arms control treaties?
