Asus motherboard with UEFI demoed on video

This is really nice

That clip is insane! although that has to be an SSD to be that quick! although it they are going to ship computers that boot that fast! thats absolutely astonishing!

The UI reminds me a bit of AMD overdrive, but nicer looking. I can't help but wonder why manufacturers can't make the BIOS a little bit more eye friendly than the currently do. Why do they seem to only use a few different colors?

The "Fearless" you speak of had just as much ability to screw things up and not to mention The "Fearless" were also people just learning how to use things. Trial and error. Screw up after screw up. I don't see how someone can screw up their computer any worse with UEFI than they could with a BIOS. Please explain?

I am glad that I saved my upgrade money for Sandy Bridge. This looks amazing and is exactly what we need at this point. It is definitely time for BIOS to get replaced by something more powerful and easy to use.

This is the best news Ive heard today, I'm very excited for this! No more BIOS! this UI is destined to be great and even looks sexy

I love that they're finally replacing the age old BIOS. It was in severe need for a revamp many years ago.

I hope they do it right and make it all around better than BIOS ever was.

But can it run Crysis?

In all seriousness though, I'd be glad to be done with BIOS. But I'd like it to do more than just look better. I have had some really crappy BIOS with very little options and lots of problems. A nice, standard, modern, motherboard system would be very nice. Especially a simplified device manager (maybe being able to rename drives or change channels without having to plug it into a different slot/take apart the computer. And while we're at it, let's drop IDE.

UEFI is nmbr 1 on my top list of features, not going to upgrade until is here, so move yr butt asus, msi, gygabyte, amd, intel,!!!

edit, watched he video, they really HAVE to work on that gui design, it has to be a lot cleaner an a bit more ... manlier?

Looks great can't wait to get my hands on it.

Thanks for the info. I was like "new ui? that's it?".

"The video is just a taste of what's to come"
Obviously this will bring a higher level of tweaking and overclocking. I wonder how stable UEFI will be. Hopefully a lot!

Can you say its about time lol kinda like UEFI Forever if you get that lol. I do have to say that its a great improvement over the current bios but cant say i wont miss the bios its the only thing ive ever known.

How long before someone finds a security exploit and uses it to infect PC's? I sure hope security was a top priority when designing this new system.

Can't wait. I'm glad I didn't purchased a MB yet to build my RIG. Way to go ASUS.

Looking forward to it.

UEFI can, and probably will, support anti-virus software.
Lets connect the dots...
Intel was/is the prime mover behind UEFI.....
McAfee has had uEFI encryption (inc full disc) and anti-virus on the table for some time (relevant portions start page 29)...
Intel to acquire McAfee for $US7.68bn....
Intel CPU's, chipsets, I/O hubs and other storage controllers are now basically "UEFI ready"...at least for primetime...since Intel's motherboards (as opposed to Intel chipset) have had the ability to boot with EFI/UEFI since the 975 Express (Bad Axe board) chipset- successfully with server boards, less so with desktop. And of course MSI has already announced that it's future Intel boards will be UEFI capable. Their P45 chipset boards utilising ClickBios already use a version of UEFI

...so your saying there's a chance :haha::wave:
