<< Ideally, you should hope to get to none, so the CPU never has to address the ISA bus. >>

if i have no ISA cards installed, does that really take the ISA bus out of the loop? aren't on-board serial, keyboard, mouse, and parallel ports implemented through the ISA bus? can the ISA bus be "turned off" in BIOS?

thanks,
