but who sells these things? Not something I can find from companies who list on pricewatch is there?

I was thinking more of a new design that has more IRQs, that can boot the OS from EEPROM for faster bootups, and that has more of the function of the OS in the ROM than the "standard" PC. This may speed things up with the OS boot times, and also force Microsoft to adapt or not.

I'll keep searching and looking for it. CPCI.
