A few years back I owned a system with an Intel 850 motherboard (yes, the ones with RDRAM) ... I believe it was manufactured by Asus. On the board was a location where a chip of some sort could have gone, but apparently the manufacturer had opted not to install the chip. Beneath where the chip WOULD have been located it simply said "Big Bro"

Was the purpose of this "Big Bro" chip ever discovered or formally announced? Just curious.

If anyone is interested, I have a picture of my board on my home PC I can post. It clearly says "Big Bro"
