The Taiwanese company MSI are bringing their first EFI BIOS to 3 of their P45 based motherboards. If you're lucky enough to own either a P45 Platinum, P45 Diamond or a P45D3 Platinum then you'll be among the first to try MSI Click out...
.. I'd very much be interested to whoever can and is willing to try the EFI instead of the conventional BIOS and see what they think.

New Type of Graphics BIOS Settings
MSI has started to adapt EFI into its next generation motherboard platform. The ability to use a GUI and mouse provides the opportunity to fully experience the possibilities of MSI motherboards. EFI also supports LAN, pre-OS applications such as live update, games, instant messenger, media player and a browser. Microsoft will add EFI support to the x64 versions of Windows Vista with Service Pack 1.
What is EFI BIOS?
The Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. EFI is intended as a significantly improved replacement of the old legacy BIOS firmware interface historically used by all IBM PC compatible PCs. The EFI specification was originally developed by Intel, and is now managed by the Unified EFI Forum and is officially known as Unified EFI (UEFI).
Benefits of EFI BIOS
* Supports graphical menus and features
* Supports mouse-controlled interface
* Supports pre-OS applications, file oriented (ex: System recovery, games, media player, Internet browser, etc.)
* Supports multi-language
* UEFI support for x64 versions of Windows Vista are included in Service Pack 1.
