+ The ME firmware is <i>cryptographically signed</i>, which means that you cannot run a modified version of it. You also can't boot without it.

the ME itself is permanently deactivated. For instance, libreboot supports several ICH9 based
laptops; see <a href="../docs/hcl/gm45_remove_me.html">../docs/hcl/gm45_remove_me.html</a>.
