    This is a newbie question. I noticed that there is a driver called TPM driver in the Drivers and Utilities cd that came with the W3J. I think this is the "Infineon Security Platform solution". Also, the sticker on the left side that shows the specs of the machine has "100GB + TPM". Can someone tell me what this is?

    Thank you very much in advance.

    Is W3J supposed to have a TPM? The big sticker on the left side of my W3J only says 100GB. Indeed there's a TPM driver in the drivers CD, but when I try to install it, it says that there's no TPM in my W3J. What gives?

    Must be only the newer W3Js that have the Infineon chip.

    Same with my A8Jm, supposed to have it but I can't install the TPM drivers. It's supposed to be enabled/disabled in BIOS, maybe in the later BIOS' they'll offer a fix?
