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.

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
