    Re: UEFI vs legacy bios

    I don't think it is something to fuss over, as it is an extra. I was just curious. There is one registered user shown in Denmark, where I live, there seems to be only one - it isn't me, although the map says so. I live about 100kms from the flag. But I guess it is country specific, rather than actual abode specific. Without that detailed information, I doubt the exact location would, in any case, be available.

    Re: UEFI vs legacy bios

    The main reason UEFI was created was because of the limited amount of allocation space in the legacy BIOS and the limitations that this implementation posed. With UEFI BIOS, you can download firmware updates directly from what would traditionally be the "BIOS" screen. You can boot from disks over 2TB, the design is modular, and its CPU independent. Whereas, the traditional legacy BIOS is very much dependent on the architecture of the CPU and its related chipset. UEFI/EFI is more of a modular system being developed for all types of systems, irregardless of the architecture. I think the big thing is network support, as this alleviates a lot of problems with hardware firmware in the future.
