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.
