I would first check  the Gigabyte Usenet newsgroup and see if this feature
really works.  A lot of these new features get implemented in bios but don't
work with the OS you have.

For the award flash, you need to go to Gigabyte's web site and  find the
bios flash information and get the version of Award bios flash that will
work with your particular version of the bios.  Odds are too that if you
have a bios on a CD that came with the board, a new version is already
available at the web site.  Flashing bios is not particularly hard but it's
one of those "follow the manufacturer's instructions exactly" and "only do
it if you really need
it" type of things.
