2. During or after a BIOS upgrade, if DualBIOS
TM
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
TM
technology examines the
checksum of the main and backup BIOS while the system is powered on to guarantee your
BIOS operates properly.
3. Power Users will have the advantage of having two BIOS versions on their mainboard. The
benefit is being able to select either version BIOS to suit the performance system needs.
4. Flexibility for high-end desktop PCs and workstation/servers. In the DualBIOS
TM
utility, the
option can be set, "Halt On When BIOS Defects," to be enabled to halt your system with a
warning message that the main BIOS has been corrupted. Most workstation/servers require
constant operation to guarantee services have not been interrupted. In this situation, the "Halt
On When BIOS Defects" message may be disabled to avoid system pauses during normal
booting. Another advantage you gain from Giga-Byte’ s DualBIOS
TM
technology is the ability to
upgrade from dual 2 Mbit BIOS to dual 4 Mbit BIOS in the future if extra BIOS storage is need.
