    So far the GUI BIOS only looks clumsier. Prettier, but clumsier. A simple + or - is really all you need to change a value. Some of the features on my current board pop up a box where you manually type in a value (RAM timings for example).

    Why fix it if it's not broken?

    IIRC, EFI is not BIOS, and it would be impossible to just slap EFI onto a BIOS motherboard like the P5QE. My guess is they just made a GUI for normal BIOS.

    MSI had a trial for a motherboard in asia recently, basically the mobo was your standard one, with EFI instead of a bios.

    Actually afro, I am sure it is possible to remove the bios and replace it with an EFI.

    anyways you guys might remeber this link Msi trials efi bios replacement - The Inquirer

    Also, they should remove the mouse for the asus one, just use the keyboard and have a snazzy looking bios.
    Desktop: C2Q Q9650, GA-EP45-UD3P, 8GBDDRII 1066mhz Kingston HyperX, Asus 5850 1GB, 24" LCD, 5x 1TB HDDs
    Server: C2D E6550, Asus P5K, 2GB kingston stuff, 4870 512mb, 2x 120GB & 160GB HDDs, headless.
    Lappy: MSI Wind NetBook

    Also my Keyboard Has Cruise Control.
