does disabling unused ports increase performance?

On my home computer I have no need for my serial ports or parallel port. I was wondering if disabling these devices in BIOS would increase the performance of my computer? or maybe decrease my chances of running into a hardware conflict. Just curious! Thanks! I'm running a 1600XP on a EPOX 8kha+ with the lastest BIOS.
 
Right. Even if it did give a performance increase, it would probably be so small that you would have trouble noticing it. What it does do is to Free up IRQs so that your other components can use them.

EDIT: WOOHOO! Post 400 🙂
