"Even though we have seen an MSI motherboard being used with an AMI EFI BIOS last year, we have only now have been informed that MSI has begun trialling more motherboards kitted out with EFI BIOSs.
Richard Stewart, UK Marketing Manager at MSI told us that “MSI will start to phase EFI into its next generation motherboard platform, and will allow much easier accessibility of motherboard BIOS systems. The ability to use a GUI and mouse can only encourage users to attempt to unlock the full potential of today’s modern motherboards. Even at this early beta stage we have seen excellent OC potential using current generation of MSI motherboards.”
From the looks of things, everything should become far more intuitive – pictures can finally accompany text for example, which will help to give users a more fundamental understanding of what doors each of the user’s required options are hidden behind.
Given the necessary LAN and Internet connection, in addition to the usual Core Centre hardware tweaking, MSI is planning to enable many more features in its EFI BIOSs, including a live update option, along with instant messaging and streaming audio/video capabilities."
