Prefer EFI or text based bios?

[core2core]

Though i would ask, what you all think of the new EFI bios? compared to the text based bios.

I would do a poll and ask, if you prefer the, EFI bios or the standard text based bios. Can't find it though.

I would prefer the standard text based bios. It's simpler to use and less buggy than the EFI versions.

You don't need all that eye candy, just to change some setting in the bios.

Anyway who really wants to play silly games while in the bios.

Is it true UEFI bios enable the pc to have much quicker boot times compared to the old text based bios ?

Well I don't think so. I like to see whats going on but you get nothing with the MSI EFI bios.

You do get a sort of, musical disco everytime you start your computer though. It's annoying.

Glad i'm not the only person not keen on the EFI bios.

lol simply madness... ive been asking this same question for past 2 weeks but no one apparantly owns an EFI bios Sandybridge mobo on this forum...

I feel If I start a thread saying EFI bios is 5x faster then older bioses I may get corrected or told off but it maybe the only way to get an answer....

Thats a bit silly. Most members on here own a sandybridge and a motherboard with a EFI bios. Did you read the other posts in this thread?

I own one and i said, i don't believe it is faster. If it is, it's not worth worrying about.
I would rather have a functional non buggy text bios anyday, over a glorified graphics based bios.

Some like it and some don't. I don't.
