You're right, it's a non-issue for Mac users because they don't have any damn choice in their motherboards.Originally posted by Drake Tungsten
I guess this must be exciting for PC users...

You can tweak the BIOS stuff largely through the OS. I flash my BIOS inside Windows and change AGP settings without touching the BIOS, for example.Originally posted by Provost Harrison
Well as I said, there should be a bare minimum of BIOS equivalent, enough to be able to hand over to the OS and then the OS takes over rather than go through this layer...just my thought anyway.
You can even overclock using programs like SoftFSB without touching the BIOS screen.
It's just that most of the time it's not an issue to use the BIOS settings, or in this case EFI."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Didn't know you can do that...change AGP settings without touching the BIOS, for example.Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?

Now that I've thought on the matter, it seems to me that the upside to this is that Be can finally come out of the closet.
