Hi,
I have the ASUS M5A97 which has the UEFI system.
PClinuxos,Fedora17 both run. The bios is a Linux system, it seems to recognise 
the installation system because Linux has no problems and Windows 7+ instals 
with  the UEFI extension.
32 bit pclos will not install if win7-64 is installed., 64 bit has no 
problems..
USB 3,sata 3 very good.
