On some older chipsets (ICH8 and ICH9), it's possible to remove the ME <i>firmware</i> and still have a functioning system, where 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>. |
