The customer needs to substantiate that claim. In what way does the new BIOS "cripple" the machine? It's very vague.

I'm thinking it might prevent overclocking (though an overclocker buying a HP?)... or even limit the clock multipliers so the CPU runs at a lower speed eg the 3.0ghz Intel part is now going at 2.66ghz instead.
