Swedes Show Intel Sandy Bridge Running BIOS-Successor UEFI

Posted by timothy on from the oofi-is-swedish-anyhow-isn't-it? dept.

An anonymous reader writes "SweClockers.com has gotten it hands on a Intel Sandy Bridge motherboard running Unified Extensible Firmware Interface, the long awaited successor of age-old BIOS. Among the differences is a significantly more user-friendly interface, the ability to boot from drives larger than 2 TB and faster boot times. Check it out, on video, in Swedish." Here's an Google's translation of the article.

    Now I can stick one of those new Seagate 3TB drives in my system, instead of relying on ho-hum USB 3.0.

    Um, you do realize that as computers get more and more powerful and having more and more memory that video and music files are going to get big, right? Right now that 2TB disk handles only like 40 Blu Rays, right? I mean that's not really that unreasonable to expect hard disks of the future to be able to handle.
