Desktop PC motherboards with EFI?

[Marco Iannaccone]

Do you know any desktop PC motherboard with EFI (or with the possibility
of updating the flash ROM from BIOS to EFI), possibly also implementing
a BIOS compatibility module?

AMI (the producer of AMI BIOS) produces Aptio, that's a EFI
implementation, with a BIOS compatibility module. Do you know any
motherboard using it?

Thanx

The Intel boards in Apple Mac Pro's use EFI. I do not believe any other
Intel chipset based boards for PC's are produced using EFI yet.

Thanx a lot.

So, it seem... that any Intel 945 based motherboard will be able to use
EFI when (if...) the EFI firmware update will be released.
