I know for a fact there is no serial port physically present on this motherboard. There is no mention of one in the motherboard manual, and I have a much older machine with a DFI nForce2 chipset; that has a serial port, but my current system certainly does not. I don't know why eVGA decided to leave that option in the BIOS, especially when there isn't a single serial port anywhere to be had.
As I said, no serial port ANYwhere.
So I'd need to order the maximus extractor, the spear, *and* that VIA card? after the nightmare I had with a VIA chipset, I have to go buy another of their shitty product to do this?
