No - the same model but with a few more thingies does have dual-bioses, 
but not this one (GA-7N400-L).

Anyway, went interstate yesterday, dropped in to my favourite shop to 
get some additional RAM and casually asked if there was a mobo lying 
around at the back of the workshop which would replace my (assumed) 
fried Gigabyte mobo. As it happened, there WAS a working pre-loved, top 
of the range, ASUS mobo at the back which would replace my (assumed) 
non-working mobo - but which would also give me better performance.

Tonight the old Gigabyte mobo, with it accoutrements, was removed and 
the new ASUS will go in tomorrow.

Pictures are 11.
