Default [FirstZoom] ASUS EFI GUI BIOS for P5QE
Quote:
ASUSTek is on the verge of releasing a graphic user interface (GUI) BIOS for all users of the P5Q motherboard series. The new type of BIOS called an Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) makes the transition from an older keyboard driven environment to something so much more appealing and easier to use. At this stage it doesn’t add any extra features except stylish good looks, but for those users who have been afraid of delving into the BIOS, now is your chance, especially if you feel comfortable in a Windows environment.

Here's the demo video from the article:

I hope Gigabyte does something like this soon, I would love this on my mobo. I think MSI has EFI too.

Wow. Looks so much better than your run-of-the-mill BIOS GUIs. It's probably not a big deal, but I'm sold on this.

Not appealed. It's just a facelift really :/

I feel comfortable enough in the current bios. And keyboard is faster then mouse. ^^

If they offer something revolutionary that current bios'es can't do. I'll buy into it.

But sadly.. I bet you P5Q with EFI will cost more then regular P5Q tho
