Extreme Hardware heeft een review gepost van de dual BIOS Gigabyte BX2000 mammaplank. Naast de unieke dual BIOS feature doet-ie ook aan STR: Suspend-to-RAM:
The BX2000 also includes STR, or Suspend-to-RAM, a function that you’ll find very familiar if you own a laptop. Essentially, it’s an enhanced version of Sleep Mode, with low power consumption (3 watts) and a very fast (7 seconds) recovery time. Again, this is a function that would be more important to a cost-conscious SOHO owner than a gamer, though it might come in handy in the dual-purpose PC. Personally, I turn off power saving in my PCs, as it usually find it more harm than help. I still remember an extended game of X-wing vs. TIE where my HD went into sleep mode and the game crashed when it tried to write the savegame immediately after. Thankfully, STR can be controlled through a jumper setting, or activated through software.
Voor overklokken blijkt het bord totaal ongeschikt te zijn. Meer daar over lees je in de review.
