What's DualBIOS ?
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.
