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."

    All current Pentiums still have this CPU ID feature. You can turn it off through the BIOS, however. Public outcry failed in this case.
