SMART QuickBoot speeds up the system boot-up process and shortens the time it takes to enter the operating system, delivering greater efficiency for daily use.
 
BIOS QuickBoot :
Shorten boot up POST time !!!
There is nothing more frustrating than having to wait ages for your PC to boot.That is why GIGABYTE developed Smart Quickboot. Smart Quickboot speeds up the system boot-up process and shortens time it takes to enter the operating system. This is done in two ways. Part one is a BIOS QuickBoot. Normally, every time you boot up your PC, your BIOS checks your hardware to make sure everything is working properly. This takes time, as your system checks the memory, hard drives, etc. By enabling Smart QuickBoot, your BIOS will only run through the hardware scan once. If all your hardware checks out ok, the next time you boot, your PC will only scan the most critical components. This allows for a time saving of up to 3-5 seconds on the BIOS boot time alone.
 
The second part of Smart QuickBoot is OS QuickBoot. This utility allows you to power down your PC into a combination of Suspend Mode (S3) and Hibernate Mode (S4). By putting your PC into S3 and S4 mode is like putting your PC to sleep, allowing you to maintain your data, while at the same time, saving energy. When you power your PC back on, Smart QuickBoot will resume from Suspend Mode in a matter of seconds, rather than the time it takes to boot the OS. The great thing about OS QuickBoot is that your data is stored in both the memory thanks to the S3 state as well as being stored on your hard drive for the even deeper S4 state. This means that even if your PC is unplugged or you lose power, the next time when you boot your PC, it will resume from S4 automatically, using the data that was stored on the hard drive.

SMART Recovery allows users to easily roll-back system settings to a previous known working status. Users can simply select the day, week or month without prior setup of a backup time flag.
 
How Smart Recovery Works:
This utility takes a 'Snapshot' of your hard drive everyday and records any
Have you ever deleted a file and later realized you still need it? Without a backup of that file, you'd be out of luck, unless of course, you had GIGABYTE's Smart Recovery. Smart Recovery allow users to backup data such as system settings, applications, documents, photos, music, videos, etc. and allow the user to retrieve the data, even if it has been deleted.
 
 

Smart Recovery takes a daily 'snap shot' of your hard drive and makes a record of any added, deleted or modified files. In the settings, you can set the time for the backup and also reserve the amount of space on your hard drive for the backup. An entirely new copy of the data is not created, only the changes that have been made from the previous day, which helps conserve hard drive space. With the existing settings, you can save up to 60 snap shots.

So, let's say you want to recover that presentation file that you deleted two weeks ago. All you have to do is open the Smart Recovery utility, click on any day before you deleted the file, select and copy the file you want to restore. It's as simple as that to recover your lost data.

Smart DualBIOS™ not only enables twice the protection for the motherboard with two physical BIOS ROMs, but it also includes a new feature that can store important dates and passwords.
 

Two types of information can be stored using Smart DualBIOS ™

In today's online world many of us have several different passwords that we need to remember, such as online banking passwords, company VPN passwords, website logins, etc. GIGABYTE's Smart DualBIOS™ allows up to 12 passwords to be stored for safe keeping, along with a short description. This makes it much easier to manage all your passwords. Of course, Smart DualBIOS™ is password protected for security, so you still need to remember one password, but this is much easier than having to remember all 12.

The second component of Smart DualBIOS™ allows you to store important dates along with a description to help you remember things such as birthdays and anniversaries. You can also set up a reminder with up to three intervals: one week, three days and on the day. This is a great feature for people who have a hard time remembering family birthdays, anniversaries and other important dates.
Password reminder Data reminder
Password : you can store 12 sets of passwords, such as your Yahoo ID, Google mail, or on-line bank account details.
  
Date : You can store up to 12 important dates and set an auto reminder for 1 day, 3 days or 1 week prior to the date.
 
All the data is stored in GIGABYTE's Dual BIOS and is as such protected against hard drive failures or even a re-installation of the operating system.

A Smarter way to manage your PC

  

Smart TimeLock allows you to schedule when your computer can or can't be used. It's done via a simple user interface that allows you to set between which times of the day that the computer can be used and for how many hours it can be used during that time. This is a good tool especially for parents who want to limit their children's PC usage. Smart TimeLock also allows for different usage scenarios during weekdays and the weekend.

  
The following example explains:
Let's say I want to allow my child to use the computer for one hour every weekday after school. In the Smart TimeLock utility, I set the Monday-Friday allowed time to one hour and then set the non usage time from 9PM to 7AM. In this way, my child can use the computer in the morning before school or at night, but only for one hour of total time. After one hour total use, the computer locks access. For the weekends, since my child has more free time, I schedule Smart TimeLock for 4 hours per day and then set the non allowed access time, just like I did for the weekday access.
