UEFI vs Traditional BIOS
« on: April 18, 2012, 02:02:19 am »
I am planning to upgrade my 1,000 year old computer! I have a motherboard that is AM2, but I clamped in a AMD Phenom II X2 555 processor and this what happened:

"If you install AMD AM3/AM2+ CPU on AM2 motherbord, the system bus speed will downgrade from HT3.0(5200MHz) to HT1.0(2000 MT/s) spec; however, the frequency of AM3/AM2+ CPU will not be impacted."

Maybe that is why every time in when I play CSS, GES it lags even though i have 4GBs of ram, 9800gt 1GB (every detail is set to low) and 30Mbps web connection with around 50 ms ping.So that said, I really need to upgrade to like a intel i5 or i7, SSD, faster video card, all that good stuff you and I know.
 
Not going to talk about my gaming problem, since I will just do some extensive testing and research and boil down the problem :-)

Oh wow sorry i went wayyy off topic there. What I wanted to say was that I am planning to get a new motherboard with UEFI. If anyone doesnt know what UEFI is please take a brief moment, exit out of GES, @basstronix (pause your fapping for a moment) and watch this video for few minutes and prepare to be mind blown.




Traditional bios is just plain boring, and not really aesthetically appealing. UEFI is a new type of bios that has a revamped GUI as you can see in the video above and gives you moar control and moar information about your motherboard.

Are you guys planning to upgrade to UEFI or do you rather just stick with the traditional AWARD bios?

My mobo has UEFI. Its nice I guess, but the 10 mins I might spend in the bios doesn't really matter to me. I got use to tranditional bios layout, so just to change a boot devices or such is a new wonder for me.

Oh and yeah why AMD sucks, they keep the same socket, just add all these requirements and odd ball things. Intel just changes the socket, that way you know if you have that socket everything works.
