I am installing Windows 8 and the Gigabyte mainboard gives three options regarding the OS
Which one to choose??
Obviously it is one of the Windows 8 options. Both will unlock a few new settings like the Compatibility Support Module (CSM) or (not visible on the screenshot) Secure Boot. But the new options are exactly the same if WHQL is chosen or not.
The manual very helpful and I am being sarcastic here.
