And foregoing non (pre-) PCI. Admittedly, that might not be much of an
issue and I don't know if "Super-I/O" is maybe even defined such as to
make it a NON issue but I do for example remember my old 386 chipset
providing for extended serial rates which I thought was way cool back
then. If that's Super-I/O (or something that should/could be covered by
the infrastructure at least) then PCI wouldn't be helpful.
