Add to that: SPI (linked flash). SPI, as anyone with a reasonable oscilloscope or a logic analyzer (cheap usb based ones will do) can find out is inherently insecure, no matter how much "security" incantations one celebrates around x86/amd64. To make it funnier, a whole plethora of critical devices is SPI or i2c connected.
Enjoy your secure meal.
I might just keep my Core2, and give away my i5.
Only some Core2 have no ME, the rest does.
If its older then 2008, you have no choice.
Pretty sure there's no AMT in the Elitebook 6930 I have.
Maybe, as I read, Intel started putting ME into CPU's since 2006 but you still could disable it until 2008 somewhat.
The other day I noticed that some of my Dell workstations have an sticker on the inside that says "ME DISABLED". I wonder how disabled is "disabled" in this context.
It's self-aware.
Just posted 2 hours ago, fell free to test if its "disabled".

Guys I would like to take a minute to point out how cool this thread is. I have been visiting LET very sparsely for the last maybe 3 years, because I was disturbed by how much the content and userbase had deteriorated. I was touched by running into such a thread. Great stuff guys, cheers.
