Computex Taipei 2009: Today at GIGABYTE's suite in Taipei 101 we were given a look at the future of networking from GIGABYTE. Ever had a motherboard with Dual Networking and then have one die on you? Well, GIGABYTE has addressed this issue with Smart Dual Net.

How this system works is pretty simple; two Ethernet ports on the motherboard connect to two separate chips. If one chip dies a smart switch which you see pictured automatically swaps traffic over to the working Ethernet chip without having to do anything special.
