Just to ensure that you have made your decisions based on good information, I wanted to clarify something about bios. Vendors often release newer or updated bios codes very spedicfic to a particular motherboard. These updated bios offerings, if they exist, may or many not allow you to boot and use GPT (EFI) etc. Neil pointed out an option I'm not familiar with. Another option is to use linuxbios (now called coreboot)[1]. If you do decide to try coreboot to upgrade your bios, do your own research and find out if it is a valid (possible) solution for you [2]. I mention this to complete and clarify the information I gave you, as best as I can. Coreboot is an excellent project that is 'good to know' knowledge, even if you choose otherwise.
