A Site that Lists Systems w/o DRM?

Posted by Cliff on from the opting-out-of-rights-management dept.

timdaly asks: "I'm about to purchase new hardware. I understand that DRM has been added to the BIOS of some systems. Is anyone aware of a site that lists which systems are DRM-disabled? I don't want to purchase hardware that has any DRM. Like unique keys on CPUs the DRM technology seems to be more of a threat than a useful tool."

    Roughly:
    $2000CAD for an Athlon 64.
    $4000CAD for a comparable G5.

    Not to mention the Apple is lagging a little behind on software and community at the moment (because of the sheer numbers difference between x86 users and Apple users). Hmmm, no thanks. :(
