I have read the Shuttle ak31 rev 3.1 topic and found it to be very helpful.
I have the AK31 rev 3.1 mobo and an Athlon XP1600+ due in from Newegg this week.
IF the mobo needed to be flashed to recogonize the new proc, I want to be sure that I am doing it correctly. Please correct me if make a wrong statement.
I made a boot disk using the Dr. DOS program from Bootdisk.com and installed it to a floppy. I then d'loaded the new BIOS files from Shuttle (AK31S2E9) and extracted THAT to the same floppy. The files now contained on the floppy are as follows:
awdflash.exe
ak31s2e9.bin
command.com
ibmbios.com
ibmdos.com
autoexec.com
I will install the new mobo, new cpu with HSF, new memory, video card and connect the 2 HDD's as well as the cdrom and CDRW. Connect power and boot with the floppy. Get to the A:\ prompt and type "awdflash". Enter the name of the new BIOS (ak31s2e9) and then wait for the program to finish and then restart the comp.
At this point, I SHOULD see the proc recognized.
Does this sound totally logical or are steps out of order?
Thanks in advance.
