I've found problems in the past persuading certain components *not* to use
it.  Not all motherboards seem to allow it to be disabled to the point of
being completely invisible, and then auto-configuration components for X
pick it up and want to use it.

Not a problem I've hit in a while though - it may have been fixed.
