Title: Did Gigabyte planned full implentation efi to their bios'es ????
Post by: dupcengier26 on March 05, 2011, 01:10:33 pm

Did is the Gigabyte has confirmed that it intends to introduce full UEFI implementations (friendly graphical interface with 1024x768 resolution,support mouse,more languages - Asus efi bios currently support 6 languages ,Msi efi bios support 15 languages and other efi features)) to their bios the socket 1155, AM3 + and future sockets ??? because for now uses it hybrid bios.
quotation from page http://www.gigabyte.com/products/pro...px?pid=3761#ov
DualBIOS™ 3TB+ HDD Support (Hybrid EFI Technology)
Hybrid EFI Technology combines the benefits of GIGABYTE's mature BIOS platform including stability and compatibility with 3rd party products with 3TB+ HDD support from EFI technology, allowing GIGABYTE to offer the best of both worlds through a quick and easy BIOS update using GIGABYTE's @BIOS utility that is freely available from the GIGABYTE website.
one could surely do with the Bios would be chip version of the classic elements of efi bios and full efi bios with support for mouse-friendly graphical user interface, support for multiple languages.

Hi,

you might like to check out this thread regarding EFI BIOS: http://forum.giga-byte.co.uk/index.php/topic,4263.0.html
My understanding is, that Gigabyte plan on rolling out EFI BIOS on their new boards and, where possible onto some of their existing motherboards but I'm not sure of the time scale for this.

Absic is quite right Gigabyte have made provision for this on their newer boards by doubling the size of the BIOS chips so that they can update with UEFI when they are ready. It is being brought in slowly by design so that if there are any problems with the implimentation it won't prove disasterous.
