Hi Maynard!
From the Gigabyte site and in their description of how their motherboards that are hardware security ready with TPM onboard and what looks like a USB dongle in the shape of a "key", they have a "system" that claims it utillizes TPMS and encryption keys utilizing BOTH Software and hardware including the TPM. Hence their terminology "ultra" TPM which means exactly what you paid for it! lol!!!!!!
Its just verbage that "sounds" good because the last thing they do in their description is make a big disclaimer saying they can't guarantee the security of your data anyway even using their "ultra TPM" and hardware based security.
Sounds like a lot of double speak to me.
Go's something like this:
I know that you believe that you heard something that I said,
however,
what you don't know is that what you think you that heard is not what I meant.
the best,
