On a different tack, whatever happened to the processor serial numbers
that Intel were putting in their CPUs? It was announced in 2000 that
they were "quietly" dropping the "feature" (ha ha). It MUST have been
quiet, because I can't find anything later that says whether they
actually did or not. Does anyone here know whether these are in P4?
