 Posted: Wed Oct 20, 2004 1:18 am Post subject: Bye Bye Bios |
 |
|
| |
Intel has formally laid out plans to replace the BIOS in PCs by 2006.
The giant chipmakers' alternative, called the extensible firmware interface
(EFI), will be an open source program based on the C programming
language that will introduce a set of APIs between platforms and
operating systems. The basic input system (BIOS) that's responsible for
booting a PC has remained since the original 8088 Intel CPU was
introduced. Todays' PC BIOS can't boot over complex networking
topologies, executes in real mode, is not protected, and is limited to
1MB in size. BIOS code is also written in assembly, which slows down
the process and makes it difficult to deal with complex algorithms for
RAM and initializing busses. EFI is expected to appear in 2005 with a
full transition planned for 2006....................... 
*- Don't hurt yourself with this one ninor.........We both know how
erroneous you can become when dealing with Windows XP...... 
NINOR SAID:
" Microsoft doesn't give a "RATS ASS" about your mobo or CPU, all
they care about is the validity of your OS(XP) on your hard drive!"
Now who's the Einstein......Einstein???????????  |

Mib,
You are right about that, however, I was referring to XP activation
where ninor made a comment that turned out to be totally erroneous!!

He seems to be perfectly willing not to give others the same option
so the answer is simply NO.......................  |

hehehehehe
Can you be any more petty CujoARse    No, I don't think you can. You're so petty that you make a thread for the sole purpose of castigating me for a mistake that I've made (and immediately apologized for I might add).
You really need to find something to fill the evident void in your life, instead of letting things fester and grow into the malignancies that are evident in your posts.
Get some professional help before it's too late. |

"Can you be any more petty CujoARse?"
nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
I think you have already done that with your constant referrals to the
"at&f" fiasco. C'mon dude....where is your sense of humor??? You do
have one, although it chooses to surface only on rare occasions. |

ddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd
I only made one referral to your AT & F screw up after you finally admitted to it, and that was in response to being attacked by you in a thread.
Fortunately, I don't share the same twisted sense of humour as you CujoARse. I don't take pleasure in someone else's pain or misfortune, or make fun of peoples shortcomings without being provoked.
Get a life man. |
