Additional BIOS Features
Like the GA-X48-DQ6, the GA-X48T-DQ6 provides storage for up to eight overclocking profiles by pressing the F11 key. These can be retrieved by pressing the F12 key from the main BIOS page.
The F12 popup menu also allows users to select previous settings that weren’t intentionally stored, effectively taking the system back to a previously stable state.
Available by pressing F8 from either the POST screen or the main BIOS screen, Q-Flash accepts floppy or USB flash media as a source for BIOS update images.

As with the GA-X48-DQ6, the X48T-DQ6 comes with a relatively good cable kit, lacking only two internal SATA and one SATA to eSATA adapter cable from being complete.
Our X48T-DQ6 sample arrived with the full retail box including custom-printed sleeve, but Gigabyte didn’t have the retail driver CD or manual ready yet. We expect the retail CD to contain Gigabyte’s usual assortment of system management, BIOS, tuning, and anti-virus utilities. Most of the company’s recent motherboards also support its Dynamic Energy Saver utility.

Vista Home Premium or Vista Ultimate? (P16)
Its no suprise that the manufacturers didn't really bother with a major redesign because this is the last of the current Intel architectures before we move to the CSI memory link in the upcoming CPUs. I say embrace the X48 and enjoy the greatest performance that Socket 775 will ever be able to deliver. Besides since when can you disagree with releasing a validated chipset in favour of overclocking? Some people just want a bloody good board that runs perfectly stable - we are not all overclockers you know (plus there is the issue of possibly invalidating warranties when overclocking is done)
