RIP: BIOS will be dead in three years
It's the one major part of the PC that's still reminiscent of the PC's primordial, text-based beginnings, but the familiarly-clunky BIOS could soon be on its deathbed, according to MSI. The motherboard maker says it's now making a big shift towards point and click UEFI systems, and it's all going to kick off at the end of this year.
Last month, Seagate revealed to THINQ that a UEFI system would be an essential requirement in order for a PC to boot from a HD drive larger than 2TB.
