Intel ME is also here, and newer systems absolutely do not have the option to disable it, despite all it's flaws. ME security vulnerabilities cannot be fixed in many cases, and it is an intolerable risk for some. If you insist on a system that does not run ME at all, then the best you can run is a Core 2 Quad x9650 on BIOS. Be mindful of what you are losing when you deprecate that machine.
