I just noticed that there is an update for my PC's BIOS that adds UEFI support. I'm debating whether or not to flash it. I know that UEFI is supposed to improve bootup times, however I don't have an SSD on this system, so not sure whether I'd really benefit.
Also, I just did a clean install of Windows 8. If I update the BIOS would I have to format my OS hard drive a special way and reinstall Win8 for it to be recognized as UEFI? And if I didn't, would it kill my ability to boot into Windows?
FWIW, the system is a Gateway FX6860 that is pretty much stock except I upgraded the video card to a GTX 570.
