Intel's ME doesn't run in the CPU itself.  It's in a separate set of chips on the motherboard.

Typically, to use the ME from the OS, you'd need the Intel ME drivers & software installed.  I'm nto sure, but I think Intel might only provide that for Windows.  Although the Intel ME runs independently of the OS, if you don't have the software installed on the OS for it, it may not affect you as much.
