I am no expert too :-) The advantages mentioned by you are true (of course). Only small note, that the partition advantage is GPT (partition table) property, and to you can use GPT, you need UEFI, because old BIOS cannot work with GPT, not the UEFI itself. The UEFI itself has only small advantages (from my point of view), if any, and i see it as mostly marketing thing, but it allows to run more complicated things (without OS start) than BIOS's setup only. I hope, that in future, there will be more useful UEFI applications, than eye candy setup utility and nothing solving Secure boot... regards -- Slavko http://slavino.sk
