LGA1155 Motherboards already selling in Taiwan info

[dctokyo]

and whats so great about efi anyways?
you only use it once to set up your pc and thats it...
all you can do on 1155 is raise multis and voltages, and you can do that in windows as well...

im sure there will be tweaks to get 1 or maybe even 3 extra mhz out of bclock, yay, but hows that gonna be any different with efi?

the EFI Bios looks so pretty

Difference Between EFI and BIOS

1. EFI is more similar as a low-end operating system in concept. It has the capacity to control all the hardware resources. It has some basic functions as a small operating system, support mouse control, visit internet in EFI, backup your disk drive, install drivers in EFI, etc.

2. EFI supports Graphic User Interface(GUI), but BIOS has only text interface, even few computer manufacture, OEM manufacture can provide a simlar GUI, but their functions are greatly limited. It is a graphic BIOS only.

3. EFI support multi-languages user interface. for many non-english speaking countries, they can manage EFI in theiry mother language circumstance.

4. EFI is designed in modular, it is the most significant difference between EFI and BIOS. EFI is designed in two main modulars, one is firmware manager, the other is operating system software manager. EFI supports new peripherals, high-speed startup, and firmware upgrade separately.

5. EFI is developed in C language, but BIOS is in ASM. So EFI has more adaptation in hardware or firmware. EFI has greater fault tolerance and error correction features.

6. BIOS service is designed in 16-bit mode, but EFI is running in 32-bit mode or 64-bit mode, and even the enhanced processor mode in future.

7. We can access to all system hardware functions by EFI driver model, we can visit internet or websites in EFI without access the upper operating systems.
