Now that we have UEFI there are issues to address considering your BIOS system, if your machine has windows on it now. You may find yourself having to press the F1 key in some cases to continue booting. Some 64bit mem stacks and BIOS will allow the bypass, others will not, and there is often a small 32bit FS partition that should not be deleted as it is linked to a flash BIOS program. Be careful with American Megatrends BIOS systems on ASUS boards. All intel you can do just about anything you want as long as you load linux from a live DVD.
