First Look at Gigabyte's UEFI Setup on X79

@nadamany the UX32, not the thinner UX31, has a single SO-DIMM slot. Only qualified for up to 4GB, 8GB should work but not 100% yet

Just a little Jay-Z and SSD testing, maybe even building a new HTPC for the theater

ASUS' Zenbook Prime UX21A now in Bench: http://t.co/o8WRdDKX

@JonWorrel the UX21A, the review just posted: http://t.co/LN9GNdiY

@DrPizza @mcrommert @babgvant there's progress, just not along this one vector. that will come too.

@DrPizza @mcrommert @babgvant hangon now: 19x10 in an 11.6-inch form factor, much better CPU perf, much better wifi, USB 3, etc...

@DrPizza @mcrommert @babgvant wait seriously it is?!? is that why all of my machines are running so slow? :-P

@DrPizza @babgvant @mcrommert welcome to the world of appliance computing, just upgrade again next year when you need more memory

@babgvant @DrPizza @mcrommert I agree that I would like to see more, but 4GB with an SSD is definitely usable for most client workloads

Just like old BIOS? by gomakeit on Wednesday, September 14, 2011

Seems to me a rather underwhelming implementation of UEFI. The menu looks pretty much the same as the old BIOS just with fancier graphics. ASUS' version seems to leverage the advantages of UEFI better

I don't care what they look like or what they do as long as they make POST times go down.

I'd like the DOS style text to disappear as well. No text mode, straight to native graphics res, useful info instead of meaningless device IRQ detection type stuff and don't disappear before the monitor has warmed up and turned on.

Your not going to get those requests anytime soon, although your system may support coreboot, which at least does a way with most of the silliness.

Clock speeds? by gramboh on Wednesday, September 14, 2011

I thought Intel already published the SB-E clock speeds? I guess these are leaks and not confirmed by Intel yet?

UEFI Bios Update for those running the Existing "Hybrid EFI Touch Bios" by iceman3000 on Sunday, October 09, 2011

Does any one know or heard rumors about a bios update being implemented to allow current Hybrid EFI bios's to be compatible/updated/flashed with the new UEFI Bios?
