Introduce Dual BIOS

I. Q: What is DualBIOS
TM
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
TM
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. The mainboard will operate normally with the main BIOS,
however, if the main BIOS is corrupt or damaged for various reasons, the
backup BIOS will be automatically used when the system powered-On. Your PC
will operate as before the main BIOS was damaged, and is completely
transparent to the user.
II. Q: Why does anyone need a motherboard with DualBIOS
TM
technology?
Answer:
In today’s systems there are more and more BIOS failures. The most common
reasons are virus attacks, BIOS upgrade failures, and/or deterioration of the
BIOS (ROM) chip itself.
1. New computer viruses are being found that attack and destroy the system
BIOS. They may corrupt your BIOS code, causing your PC to be unstable
or even not boot normally.
2. BIOS data will be corrupted if a power loss/surge occurs, or if a user resets
the system, or if the power button is pressed during the process of
performing a system BIOS upgrade.
3. If a user mistakenly updates their mainboard with the incorrect BIOS file,
then the system may not be able to boot correctly. This may cause the PC
system hang in operation or during boot.
4. A flash ROM's life cycle is limited according to electronic characteristics.
The modern PC utilizes the Plug and Play BIOS, and is updated regularly. If
a user changes peripherals often, there is a slight chance of damage to the
flash
ROM.
With Giga-Byte Technology’s patented DualBIOS
TM
technology you can reduce
the possibility of hangs during system boot up, and/or loss BIOS data due to
above reasons. This new technology will eliminate valuable system down time
and costly repair bills cause by BIOS failures.
