  • Page 15 CPU Speed Setup Intel Processor all have locked Frequency Multiple, so you can not change the CPU Frequency Multiple. For double CPU use, the same CPU must be used in CPU socket1 and 2. (The same stepping, FSB, ratio) For single CPU use, use CPU socket1 only. Don’t use CPU socket2. Note: We don’t recommend you to set up your system speed to 112 , 124 , 142 ,152 MHz because these frequencies are not the standard specifications for CPU, Chipset and most of the peripherals.

Auto Recovery : Enabled(Default), Disabled When one of the Main BIOS or Backup BIOS occurs checksum failure, the working BIOS will automatically recover the BIOS of checksum failure.
  • Page 46 6VXDC7 Motherboard DualBIOS Technology FAQ GIGABYTE Technology is pleased to introduce DualBIOS technology, a hot spare for your system BIOS. This newness “Value-added” feature, in a long of innovations from GIGABYTE, is available on GA-6VXDC7 motherboard. Future GIGABYTE motherboards will also incorporate this innovation.
  • Page 47 Dual BIOS Introduction I. Q: What is DualBIOS technology? Answer: DualBIOS technology is a patented technology from Giga-Byte Technology. The concept of this technology is based on the redundancy and fault tolerance theory. DualBIOS technology simply means there are two system BIOSes (ROM) integrated onto the motherboard. One is a main BIOS, and the other is a backup BIOS.
  • Page 48 6VXDC7 Motherboard III. Q: How does DualBIOS technology work? Answer: 1. DualBIOS technology provides a wide range of protection during the boot up procedure. It protects your BIOS during system POST, ESCD update, and even all the way to PNP detection/assignment.
  • Page 49 Dual BIOS Introduction 2. During or after a BIOS upgrade, if DualBIOS detects that the main BIOS is corrupt, the backup BIOS will take over the boot-up process automatically. Moreover, it will verify the main and backup BIOS checksums when booting-up. DualBIOS technology examines the checksum of the main and backup BIOS while the system is powered on to guarantee your BIOS operates properly.
