Zoran, I'm working on this subject now, but I need to do regular work too :-).
Seriously I'm in the process of changing my current stationary work-horse to two T400 laptops on docking stations. I've just received docks (very dirty, noisy fans) and I borrowed my Raspberry programmer to a friend. I hope to finish working on hardware this weekend and I will be ready to play with bioses when I get Raspberry back. I think that the first method would be to "copy" flash from one board to another and we will see. I also try to change MAC in original bios, maybe this is possible. I will report everything back, hope it will help someone. Michael Widlok
PS. Sorry for double mail I messed addresses.

Ron, I do agree, does not seem to be promising. It will add problems down the road, as requirements grow.

Ron, any (practical) example of above described practices? I have in my laptops here 6 x 4 GB DIMM modules and 2 x 8GB DIMM modules, all of them have SPD mounted.
DIMMs are so great but so old school :-)
on some systems, in flash, there are 4 and 8 element tables which are indexed by GPIOs .You use the 2 or 3 bits from 2-3 GPIOs to index the table and that's how you get your RAM programming. No SPD. You can see how much room this leaves for problems.
This is just one simple example.
