FWIW, several of us should have motherboards that support it now. For example the Dell PE29XX/PE1950 line now has support if you upgrade old machines to a newer BIOS and then turn it on in the BIOS setup. I'm not sure what em(4) cards support it. So I think hardware should be available now. At the time the PE29XX family BIOS did not support it :-( Doug A.Received on Thu Nov 15 2007 - 16:09:41 UTC
