Sandy Bridge motherboard with TPM support for BitLocker?
I am purchasing a new PC and want to be able to encrypt my boot drive using BitLocker with a Trusted Platform Module. Are there any LGA1155 motherboards with a TPM module that work with BitLocker? Many boards, e.g. Asus P8H67-M PRO, have a "TPM header" but in the fine print it says "TPM module sold separately" and yet I cannot find this module for sale. I am aware BitLocker can be used without TPM and in fact I currently use TrueCrypt. Thanks.

I was able to find a TPM module for my P8H67-M Pro on Amazon but unfortunately it doesn't work. I have the Infineon TPM and it fits the connector and is detected in the BIOS and by Windows, but the BitLocker wizard indicates that it's not compatible with the BIOS. It seems like Asus may not have the right support in their UEFI BIOS yet for the TPM functions that BitLocker requires.
