Do I need ISA support in my kernel?


I didn't think I have an ISA bus, because I have a new motherboard (ASUS A7N8X-X) which has PCI slots, but when I run lspci -vv, the following entry is printed:

0000:00:01.0 ISA bridge: nVidia Corporation nForce2 ISA Bridge (rev a4)
Subsystem: Asustek Computer, Inc. A7N8X Mainboard
Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle+ MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B-
Status: Cap+ 66Mhz+ UDF- FastB2B+ ParErr- DEVSEL=fast >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR-
Latency: 0
Capabilities: [48] #08 [01e1]

Does that mean I have to select the "ISA Support" option in the kernel configuration under "Bus Options"?

I have an ISA bridge, and disabling ISA didn't do any harm.
