Memory Installation
The motherboard has 4 Rambus In-line Memory Module (RIMM) sockets. The BIOS will
automatically detects memory type and size. To install the memory module, just push it vertically
into the RIMM Slot .The RIMM module can only fit in one direction due to the two notches.
Please note; Both RIMM modules inserted on RIMM1 and RIMM2 slots are recommended to
have the same size, frequency. If not, the larger sized module will l be automatically re-sized by
BIOS to match the smaller sized module. The same rule applies to both RIMM3 and RIMM4
slots.
You can insert two RIMMs or four RIMMs into RIMM slots, but C-RIMM (Continuity RIMM)
modules must be inserted into the empty slots.
Check RIMM module if it is supported by the
M/B.
Insert the RIMM module into the slot.
Push the ejector tab towards the RIMM.

Suspend To RAM Installation
A.1 Introduce STR function:
Suspend-to-RAM (STR) is a Windows 98 ACPI sleep mode function. When recovering from
STR (S3) sleep mode, the system is able, in just a few seconds, to retrieve the last “state” of
the system before it went to sleep and recover to that state. The “state” is stored in memory
(RAM) before the system goes to sleep. During STR sleep mode, your system uses only
enough energy to maintain critical information and system functions, primarily the system
state and the ability to recognize various “wake up” triggers or signals, respectively.
A.2 STR function Installation
Please use the following steps to complete the STR function installation.
Step-By-Step Setup
Step 1:
To utilize the STR function, the system must be in Windows 98 ACPI mode.
Putting Windows 98 into ACPI mode is fairly easy.
Setup with Windows 98 CD:
A. Insert the Windows 98 CD into your CD-ROM drive, select Start, and then Run.
B. Type (without quotes) “D:\setup” in the window provided. Hit the enter key or click OK.
C. After setup completes, remove the CD, and reboot your system
(This manual assumes that your CD-ROM device drive letter is D:).

Dual BIOS Introduction (Optional)
A. What is Dual BIOS Technology?
Dual BIOS means that there are two system BIOS (ROM) on the motherboard, one is the
Main BIOS and the other is Backup BIOS. Under normal circumstances, the system boots
and works from the Main BIOS. If the Main BIOS is corrupted or damaged, the Backup
BIOS can take over when the system is powers on. This means that your PC will still be
able to run stably as if nothing has happened in your BIOS.

If the Wide Range Protection is set to “Enable”, and a failure (ex. Update ESCD
failure, checksum error or reset…) occurs in the Main BIOS just after the power is on
(before the BIOS is loaded), the PC will boot from Backup BIOS automatically.
Status 2:
If the ROM BIOS on peripherals cards(ex. SCSI Cards, LAN Cards,..) emits signals to
request restart of the system after the user make any alteration on it, the boot up
BIOS will not be changed to the Backup BIOS.

DualBIOSTM Technology FAQ
GIGABYTE Technology is pleased to introduce DualBIOS technology, a hot spare for your
system BIOS. This newest “Value-added” feature, in a long series of innovations from
GIGABYTE, is available on GA-8TX motherboard. Future GIGABYTE motherboards will also
incorporate this innovation.
What’s DualBIOSTM?
On GIGABYTE motherboards with DualBIOS there are physically two BIOS chips. For
simplicity we’ll call one your “Main BIOS” and the other is 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.
8TX Motherboard
47
III. Q: How does DualBIOSTM technology work?
Answer:
1. DualBIOSTM technology provides a wide range of protection during the boot up procedure. It
protects your BIOS during system POST, ESCD update, and even all the way to PNP
detection/assignment.
2. DualBIOSTM provides automatic recovery for the BIOS. When the first BIOS used during
boot up does not complete or if a BIOS checksum error occurs, boot-up is still possible. In
the DualBIOSTM utility, the "Auto Recovery" option will guarantee that if either the main BIOS
or backup BIOS is corrupted, the DualBIOSTM technology will use the good BIOS and correct
the wrong BIOS automatically.
3. DualBIOSTM provides manual recovery for the BIOS. DualBIOSTM technology contains a
built-in flash utility, which can flash your system BIOS from backup to main and/or visa versa.
There is no need for an OS-dependent flash utility program.
4. DualBIOSTM contains a one-way flash utility. The built-in one-way flash utility will ensure that
the corrupt BIOS is not mistaken as the good BIOS during recovery and that the correct
BIOS (main vs. backup) will be flashed. This will prevent the good BIOS from being flashed.
IV. Q: Who Needs DualBIOSTM technology?
Answer:
1. Every user should have DualBIOSTM technology due to the advancement of computer
viruses.
Everyday, there are new BIOS-type viruses discovered that will destroy your system BIOS.
Most commercial products on the market do not have solutions to guard against this type of
virus intrusion. The DualBIOSTM
technology will provide a state-of-the-art solution to protect
your PC:
Case I.) Vicious computer viruses may wipe out your entire system BIOS. With a
conventional single system BIOS PC, the PC will not be functional until it is sent for repairs.
Case II.) If the "Auto Recovery" option is enabled in the DualBIOSTM utility, and if a virus
corrupts your system BIOS, the backup BIOS will automatically reboot the system and
correct the main BIOS.
Case III.) A user may override booting from the main system BIOS. The DualBIOSTM utility
may be entered to manually change the boot sequence to boot from the backup BIOS.
Dual BIOS Introduction
48
2. During or after a BIOS upgrade, if DualBIOSTM 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. DualBIOSTM
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 DualBIOSTM 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.

Gigabyte announces @ BIOS
Windows BIOS live update utility
Have you ever updated BIOS by yourself? Or
like many other people, you just know what
BIOS is, but always hesitate to update it?
Because you think updating newest BIOS is
unnecessary and actually you don’t know how to update it.
Maybe not like others, you are very experienced in BIOS updating and spend quite
a lot of time to do it. But of course you don’t like to do it too much. First, download
different BIOS from website and then switch the operating system to DOS mode.
Secondly, use different flash utility to update BIOS. The above process is not a
interesting job. Besides, always be carefully to store the BIOS source code correctly in
your disks as if you update the wrong BIOS, it will be a nightmare.
Certainly, you wonder why motherboard vendors could not just do something right
to save your time and effort and save you from the lousy BIOS updating work? Here it
comes! Now Gigabyte announces @BIOS--the first Windows BIOS live update utility.
This is a smart BIOS update software. It could help you to download the BIOS from
internet and update it. Not like the other BIOS update software, it’s a Windows utility.
With the help of “@BIOS’, BIOS updating is no more than a click.
Besides, no matter which mainboard you are using, if it’s a Gigabyte’s product*,
@BIOS help you to maintain the BIOS. This utility could detect your correct mainboard
model and help you to choose the BIOS accordingly. It then downloads the BIOS from
the nearest Gigabyte ftp site automatically. There are several different choices; you
could use “Internet Update” to download and update your BIOS directly. Or you may
want to keep a backup for your current BIOS, just choose “Save Current BIOS” to save
it first. You make a wise choice to use Gigabyte, and @BIOS update your BIOS
smartly. You are now worry free from updating wrong BIOS, and capable to maintain
and manage your BIOS easily. Again, Gigabyte’s innovative product erects a
milestone in mainboard industries.
For such a wonderful software, how much it costs? Impossible! It’s free! Now, if you
buy a Gigabyte’s motherboard, you could find this amazing software in the attached
driver CD. But please remember, connected to internet at first, then you could have a
internet BIOS update from your Gigabyte @BIOS.

Windows overdrive utility
“Overdrive” might be one of the most
common issues in computer field. But have
many users ever tried it? The answer is
probably “no”. Because “overdrive” is thought
to be very difficult and includes a lot of
technical know-how, sometimes “overdrive” is
even considered as special skills found only in some enthusiasts.
But as to the experts in “overdrive”, what’s the truth? They may spend quite a lot
of time and money to study, try and use many different hardware and software tools
to do “overdrive”. And even with these technologies, they still learn that it’s quite a
risk because the safety and stability of an “overdrive“ system is unknown.
Now everything is different because of a Windows overdrive utility
EasyTuneIII--announced by Gigabyte. This utility has totally changed the gaming
rule of “overdrive”. This is the first overdrive utility suitable for both normal and power
users. Users can choose either “Easy Mode” or “Advanced Mode” to run “overdrive”
at their convenience. For users who choose “Easy Mode”, they just need to click
“Auto Optimize” to have auto and immediate CPU overclocking. This software will
then overdrive CPU speed automatically with the result being shown in the control
panel. If someone prefers to “overdrive” by oneself, there is also another choice.
Click “Advanced Mode” to enjoy “sport drive” class overclocking. In “Advanced
Mode”, one can change the system bus speed in small increments to get ultimate
system performance. And no matter which mainboard is used, if it’s a Gigabyte’s
product*, EasyTuneIII helps to perform the best of system.
Besides, different from other traditional over-clocking methods, EasyTune III
doesn’t require users to change neither BIOS nor hardware switch/ jumper setting;
on the other hand, they can do “overdrive” at only one click. Therefore, this is a safer
way for “overdrive” as nothing is changed on software or hardware. If user runs
EasyTuneIII over system’s limitation, the biggest lost is only to restart the computer
again and the side effect is then well controlled. Moreover, if one well-performed
system speed been tested in EasyTuneIII, user can “Save” this bus speed and
“Load” it in next time. Obviously, Gigabyte EasyTuneIII has already turned the
“overdrive” technology toward to a newer generation.
This wonderful software is now free bundled in Gigabyte motherboard attached
driver CD. Users may make a test drive of “EasyTuneIII” to find out more amazing
features by themselves.

• Memory
The category is display-only which is determined by POST (Power On Self Test) of the
BIOS.
Base Memory
The POST of the BIOS will determine the amount of base (or conventional)
memory installed in the system.
The value of the base memory is typically 512 K for systems with 512 K memory
installed on the motherboard, or 640 K for systems with 640 K or more memory
installed on the motherboard.
Other Memory
This refers to the memory located in the 640 K to 1024 K address space. This is
memory that can be used for different applications.
DOS uses this area to load device drivers to keep as much base memory free
for application programs. Most use for this area is Shadow RAM.
Extended Memory
The BIOS determines how much extended memory is present during the POST.
This is the amount of memory located above 1 MB in the CPU's memory
address map.
