we're working with the lippert fastrunner here.

The GX2 is not without problems. They really rely heavily on SMI mode. I 
don't much like this. For example, Ollie just told me that PCI config 
accesses (cf8/cfc) are trapped into SMI mode and emulated.

How is it on boot time?  How long does linuxbios take before it gets to 
the payload?
