Gigabyte Technology recently began to include its DualBIOS technology on all its motherboard products.DualBIOS saves a backup copy of the system BIOS in case of malfunction. The technology works automatically and does not require users to control it.

This is a really handy feature and one of the reasons I keep going back to my Gigabyte X38 board.

I thought they already had but perhaps there was still some older model that hadn't been phased out yet. Sometimes it might not help much though in case the old backup BIOS doesn't support the CPU, and the backup itself cannot be updated. Of equal value is the POST menu that handles the flashing from any USB media without any need for other software or bootdisks. I wouldn't want a board with less than that ever again.
