Well, most motherboards give BIOS (UEFI?) option to disable some hardware that's present onboard. I've a relatively old machine, so don't know what's the thing with UEFI. My PC's BIOS has option to disable many things like Ethernet, Audio, Serial Port, etc. -- Nilesh Govindarajan http://nileshgr.com
