why have Gigabyte not adopted UEFI?

[panyan]

at a recent Microsoft Windows 8 seminar a Microsoft employee who was pluggin windows 8 said he was told that windows and applications ran 40% faster in windows 7 under UEFI.... i think this is total ****-and-bull and that he has been misled.

I want to know if anyone actually has an ASrock or MSI board with UEFI and if it makes the 40% differences qouted by MS employee

surely we'd have to have windows 8 though right?

Re-read the first quote . . . . Then read it again.

It certainly does not make windows applications faster. However, it does make it BOOT 40% faster (at least). I went MSI for my latest build as Gigabyte (Always been quite loyal to them!) didn't have the UEFI BIOS and I just wanted one with the graphical interface!
