Gday Richard, I'm not sure your exactly clear on the terms here, from my limited understanding, PXE is a type of bootprom standard that allows booting from the network. It is generally integrated with network cards. Perhaps you are referrering to onboard network cards that you can control the PXE activation from the BIOS?
Unless you are talking Apha's - thats a pretty different story. You could just buy network cards/motherboards with bootproms/PXE stuff built in and boot off that into a ramdisk. Is that along the lines of what you want to do?
