    Problems with chnages to firmware on boot

    I used to use rEFInd as a boot loader, but with the upgrade to Big Sur there have apparently been changes to the firmware that interferes with rEFInd's operation. So I am back to holding down the option key. Yay. <--(sarcasm) If I tried to boot normally, rEFInd should kick in and take me to...

    MP 1,1-5,1 Windows 10 x64 on MP 2,1 with 64GB RAM: only 32GB shows usable

    I recently used an old HP with UEFI to install Windows 10 x64 onto a pre-made Boot Camp partition on the hard drive in my MP. Everything went surprisingly well with it, except I'm surprised to find that the RAM only shows 32GB usable, even though Windows detected all 64GB in my MP. I know the MP...
