I have this motherboard and processor in my computer at home. I didn't even know what vPro is. I can't see that it is useful to me because I dont have the remove administation tools anyway :)

I assume this works over the ethernet? What technology does it use to communicate between the machines - I assume it isnt TCP/IP but something at a lower level. Would this generate network traffic?
