DualBIOS Technology FAQ
GIGABYTE Technology is pleased to introduce DualBIOS technology, a hot spare for your system
BIOS. This newest "Value-added" feature, in a long series of innovations from GIGABYTE, is
available on GA-6OXC Series motherboard. Future GIGABYTE motherboards will also
incorporate this innovation.
What's DualBIOS TM ?
On GIGABYTE motherboards with DualBIOS there are physically two BIOS chips. For simplicity
we'll call one your "Main BIOS" and the other we'll call your "Backup" BIOS (your "hot spare"). If
your Main BIOS fails, the Backup BIOS almost automatically takes over on your next system boot.
Almost automatically and with virtually zero down time! Whether the problem is a failure in flashing
your BIOS or a virus or a catastrophic failure of the Main BIOS chip, the result is the same - the
Backup BIOS backs you up, almost automatically.
