In addition to the Q45 based systems that Corey mentions, a relatively new chipset, the Intel Express B43 Chipset is currently shipping on Intel and Asus motherboards in the channel. These economical platforms have headroom built in to provide a subset of vPro managability features, most noteably Intel Remote PC Assist Technology which can differentiate your offerings as systems that are enabled from the ground up for growth into managed services to compliment your current vPro offerings.
