REVENGE Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 In short: "MSI will start to phase EFI into its next generation motherboard platform, and will allow much easier accessibility of motherboard BIOS systems. The ability to use a GUI and mouse can only encourage users to attempt to unlock the full potential of today's modern motherboards. Even at this early beta stage we have seen excellent OC potential using current generation of MSI motherboard." - Richard Stewart, UK Marketing Manager of MSI TheINQUIRER The impending appearance of EFI implementations in the designs from 3rd party, 1st tier mainstream motherboard manufacturers is a significant reason why MacEFIx86 should continue to be developed.

Colonel Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Hey Mr. News Team, wanna put this on the front page instead of in Reader News? You have the power to do that, you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLiDE FTW!!1 Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Probably not significant enough... I'm thinking that Apple's probably going to make sure that it's OS can't boot on EFI enabled boards... But for our sake, go OSX86! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REVENGE Posted January 20, 2008 Author Share Posted January 20, 2008 Probably not significant enough... Alright, well first of all, it turns out to be old news since I just saw that article on the P35. Second of all, yeah, I thought it was too offtopic. This is why the new site design is so necessary: because the current FPN is too limited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mifki Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 lol, why is everyone excited? they havent said if they will enable efi booting (which is the only thing useful to us). Motherboards based on EFI have been around for over a year already (Intel motherboard > 945 series all have EFI). The only thing different here is that a third party vendor is putting EFI onto its motherboards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
