I'm fairly sure that the Intel MB you referred to (or one like it) is
the one in the Dell Dimension E520 I recently ordered.
Although the CPU in my new Dell is a Core 2 Duo, not a Pentium D
("Duo-core"), and it doesn't have integrated video, as well as a few
other differences.
Dell is saying that this computer is Vista-ready, and even included a
free express upgrade to Vista Home Premium in my purchase.
Whether Vista itself even uses TPM chips I don't know. Unless
Microsoft wrote Vista to recognize such chips, any TPM chip would be
useless, anyway, no matter whether you had a driver or not.
