This would be great if I could flash my BIOS with it.
I am also getting "Boot block is not valid" when I try to flash.
Are there any other motherboards getting EFI? EFI has been something I've been waiting for a few years now.

Thirded here - it won't flash.
Although I've been quite critical about the P5Q Deluxe's quality and reliability problems, I must say that I'd be extremely impressed if Asus goes to the effort of releasing EFI firmware for this board when it isn't even a current model any more - that shows real respect for their customers.
Having said that, the EFI ROM image they've currently got available for download has clearly been subjected to Asus's usual rigorous level of testing and quality assurance, given that it won't even flash!

After viewing the ROM with a hex editor it doesn't even look like a real BIOS. At least not one that the BIOS flasher would accept. Either it's a junk file or you have to force the flash. I won't be testing a force though.

I've got it running too, thanks to the new flasher Asus uploaded (thanks to shroeder for pointing it out). Very impressive that they've gone to the effort!
I have 8GB in my machine, and Windows 7 is reporting 8GB with 7GB usable, so there's clearly something a bit off. I'll fiddle with the settings and see what happens.
The question now is: Who wants to try to install Snow Leopard?!

The question to that is: Why would anyone want to? Ick.
Sure if just for the e-points, but for every day usage? *shudders*
