Now if your system already has an operating system installed, that might be a different story. Actually, it might be able to be done with an Intel V-Pro board.
You may not be ale to install of the net, but you could manage to setup a V-Pro system remotely from a networked device. I would have to research it more, but I think it could be done. with a bit of finagling. Of course I could be wrong. However, there is a DOS downloader (don't ask me more than that about it) that might be able to be used.
There is now a Core2 V-Pro Tech Processor, so, I wouldn't say it can't be done. | My System Specs |

That's the catch: off a network that is configured to push out images/installs/etc. It's a business tool, but it can be done with any network card that can boot from a network, not just this V-Pro product.

In short, it can't grab an O/S over the Internet and it's not for consumers (which is the focus of this thread). | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number custom build
