    Hi All,

    Per the subject - I'm looking to upgrade my hardware to a new system
    running an Asus P8P67.

    One thing that concerns me is that the Asus site brags about the use of
    an EFI bios.

    IIRC - these boards won't work with OS/2?

    Maybe I should go for a socket 1366 or 1156 board that still has a
    traditional BIOS?

    Any tips appreciated.

    If your willing to take the gamble on the wild side, if not let me
    know. If not, we will order such a board at Mensys.
    But looking at t Asus website of the OS list thats supported it also
    supports Windows XP (that is the 32 bit version).
    Windows XP has 0,0% support for EFI.

    http://www.asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=Qx3PdnZI9Pq9BcIU

    I ended up going with:
    Gigabyte P67A-UD3R-B3 and Intel Core i7-2600

    I wasn't prepared to gamble on the Asus board with all the UEFI
    references - I don't like gambling $A200 :)

    Will hopefully get the board installed this afternoon and will report
    back success or otherwise here and at ecomstation.ru

    Cheers,

    Paul
