The Intel 945 series motherboards I hear have EFI, but I don't know of any other motherboards that use it.

The MSI P45 Boards will have, but from july on.
I dont know about the Intel ones but it would make sense.

I've just been reading that Intel 945 boards have EFI support on them. I can't seem to find much out though. I read that most, although compatible theoretically, don't have firmware installed to support it though. How would you set the motherboard to EFI mode? In the BIOS? or would it just work automatically? Would this mean you could run Darwin without EFI emulation and the Vanilla Kernels with no problems?
