 Like some other motherboards from Extreme series this motherboard features a dual-BIOS solution. As far as we know only other two companies provide this feature, Gigabyte and Albatron. This feature allows you to recover the contents of your BIOS chip if the chip was erased by a virus like CIH/Chernobyl or during a bad BIOS upgrade. Called “Top-Hat Flash” you need to install the backup BIOS literally on the top of the motherboard BIOS, see Figures 7, 8 and 9.
