elaborate on this.

How is the patched bios still on when you install EFI bios?

I can't wait till they provide one for P5Q Pro. They should have adopted the standard sooner.

The EFI-Bios don´t touch the DSDT fix of the old Version!

This may be a daft question - does this this BIOS allow you to run without a Decryption kext?

I have this board with the UEFI bios, and OS X runs without problems. But I have to use the normal way of booting with chameleon. It is not booting refit or OS X CD. It does boot the UEFI from Windows 7 however. I tried linux and grub2.efi but no success yet. (I have not made big efforts in getting it working tough).
