Default Desktop PC motherboards with EFI?

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

Default Re: Desktop PC motherboards with EFI?

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.
