Is there a new BIOS for AK31 KT266 Chipset?

[mrLI]

HI, I have an Ak31 REV 2.0 mobo from shuttle. The new BIOS on their site does not match my System when I was flashing it.
Am I doing this right?

My current BIOS is ak31s207 the one I dL on Shuttle site is ak31s20f
I'm flashing my BIOS from the "Safe Mode - boot to command prompt" option by pressing F8 at POST in Win2k Prof.

Please advise!!

Thanks to all for your quick response!!!

I have already figured out how to upgrade this and my BIOS is finally regconize my XP 1600 Processor with this mobo.

For those who has the same problem, here is your solution:

1) Create/locate a Win98 bootdisk w/the new BIOS (ak31s20f.bin) and the flash program (awflash.exe)
2) This bootdisk will take you to the DOS Prompt
3) Goto a: drive and type awflash
4) Type the new BIOS name (ak31s20f.bin) when ask for the file to program
5) Give any name when ask to back-up your current BIOS
6) After BIOS has been flashed, press F1 to reset (restart)
7) Press Del to enter BIOS during POST and there you may customize your BIOS settings even more!!!

NOW, anyone has any experience optimizing mem in the BIOS?
my current default setting are as follow:
ALU 483 MB/S (According to Sandra Benchmarking result)
FPU 519 MB/S
