Yeah, smells like the principle Microsoft uses for Product Activation... Upgrade your graphics card and see yourself being blocked by PB (lol)

  PunkBuster now computes Hardware GUIDs for various pieces of hardware on players' systems while playing on PunkBuster servers. We use multiple private one-way hashes so that no serial number information for individual computers can be determined by admins or anyone else who may try to obtain this information from a Hardware GUID (and as always, no personal information of any kind is examined, stored or transmitted by PunkBuster).

    As in MAC address? The MAC address, as we all know, can be spoofed/changed as well.
