Has anyone compared running with disabled video and enabled network?

What I mean is that there are obviously detrimental effects to pretty much anything - and that includes video adapter. Classic cMP recipe favors video, with control via KB/mouse/remote - with everything pertaining to networking disabled.

It seems logical to check whether the opposite approach does less harm. Of course, we're not talking about enabling WiFi, either onboard or via adapter - that would unacceptably degrade the sound quality, in my experience.

Instead, music PC is either hardwired to the router, or connected to wireless AP - with video adapter disabled in BIOS. Control is performed by a tablet with remote app specific to the media player.

Of course, disabled video can be major invonvenience, including inability to perform some functions on startup, that can't be automated via scripting - for instance, setting PCI latency with configuration tool.


Thoughts?
