The onni commercially available M/B that has DMI features that I know
of is the Intel 440?X. Other makers of PCs like HP, Dell and Compaq
also have this feature although there's NO S/W support for DMI Ver.
2.1. At least in production... several s/w are in beta as far as I
know. Expect this to change by next month or maybe Feb when the NetPC
or Windows terminals are released.
