Can anyone shed any light on what the score is with Gigabyte X58 chipset boards and if they come with UEFI bios (not worried about GUI, just booting from drives larger then 2.2TB) or is this just for the newer Sandybridge stuff that has it? TIA

My x58 has an odd behavior, of power on, power off, pause, and then POST. It only happens if you change BIOS settings. I changed my memory settings to extreme, 1.65v, and a multiplier for 1600. Is something wrong? I emailed Gigabyte support on the POST issue AND NEVER GOT A RESPONSE. If you get...

Bought this board about 6 months ago from Newegg. I Installed XP Home on it with no problem. Then, the sound's "magic jack" control panel started reassigning my 5.1 speakers to other jacks. I upgraded the bios to F5 hoping that that would fix the problem. Nope - so I plugged in my old Audigy...
