The motherboard I have in mind is the ASUS m5a97 r2.0. Back in October, 2015 I got a PDF on that motherboard at http://data.manualslib.com/pdf2/42/4150/414970-asus/m5a97_r20_user_manual.pdf?21746bed4ca8a7cf8dc1026baaa917b8&take=binary http://data.manualslib.com/pdf2/42/4150/414970-asus/m5a97_r2... Just checking, the PDF does mention the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) but not ARC or PCH. That ASUS manual does mention that the UEFI BIOS does offer automatic updating of the BIOS version; that feature, if enabled, does seem to raise security concerns. Looking at the UEFI page of Wikipedia at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_Extensible_Firmware_Interface https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_Extensible_Firmware_In... there is > UEFI can support remote diagnostics and repair of computers, even with no operating system installed.[3] which seems to raise some security concerns. Also it does appear that some people trying to install an operating system might encounter some mud wrestling. Maybe what I'm intending to do with Microsoft's Windows 7, 10, and Server will be easy enough. Thanks.
