Is it still possible to buy new the Intel RNG that was part of the 810 
chipset? I mean, if I go buy a current Pentium IV or Xeon system, it is 
going to have the security chip associated with the 810 chipset or was 
that specific to that chipset only?

I can't seem to find any remotely recent information on Intel's RNG 
that wasn't last updated in 1999. I thought it was a great idea at the 
time and I'm somewhat dismayed that it seems to have been quite a 
temporary thing.
