According to... http://www.thinq.co.uk/2010/6/8/exclusive-msi-bios-will-be-dead-three-years/ UEFI is the next best thing coming that will kill bios. So far the two big things for UEFI that I see is Seagate says you need to have it for booting from drives larger than 2tb, and UEFI means bigger flash for the UEFI image to be stored on the MB. So bigger drives and more space for the image. -- Steven Critchfield cri...@basesys.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NLUG" group.
