Am upgrading from a GA-7IXE4 Gigabyte mobo.The BIOS of the old mobo had "boot sector virus protection", and "BIOS write protect". Do the new ones?
Do all the Gigabyte mobos have dual-BIOS?

sethp, no idea - I would have to do the same as you - go to gigabyte site and check through ALL the specs.

The links you provide are to lists... but I think you mean one is an sis chipset and one is a via chipset and which is better the sis or via? or am I on the wrong track here?

Had been told the Nvidia chipset was faster, and that it was the only kind that supported dual channel?

go to gigabyte and read the features and specs for the boards.
