1. Updated BPL to v3.09 according to NVidia's recommendation.
2. Fixed the problem that system hangs up with POST code 01 while resuming from STR mode with user defined DRAM timings. With default SPD setting, no problem at all and doesn't need this update.
3. Fixed the problem that system hangs up at POST code FF with over clocking setting- change the multiplier factor from CPU default to 19.
4. Fixed the problem that Barton 2500+ CPU is occasionally detected as Barton 3200+.
5. BIOS Compile date: 7/24/2003.

1. Please use AWDFLASH 8.23D or later to update NF7 series BIOS. With incorrect AWDFLASH version, the GUID will be erased, and leads to IEEE1394 peer to peer function failed. AWDFLASH 8.23K is included in this BIOS package.
2. Fixed the exclamation point under Motherboard Resources of Device manager in Windows XP when use USB keyboard/mouse and set as "Support via BIOS".
3. Fixed the intermittent sirens when getting into Windows 2000 or XP with both "Shutdown when CPUFAN Fail" and "CPU Shutdown Temperature " enabled in PC Health Status.
4. Calibrated the readings of "CPU Over Temp. Protect" option in SoftMenu™ III.
5. Fixed the problem that SATA BIOS string is wrongfully connected with PCI add on card BIOS.
6. Fixed system freeze problem in S-ATA BIOS initial while using display card on PCI slot.
7. Fixed the problem if FAN speeded too slow, system would hang at BIOS screen or at watching the status in PC health Status screen.

1. Please use AWDFLASH 8.23D or later to update NF7 series BIOS. With incorrect AWDFLASH version, the GUID will be erased, and leads to IEEE1394 peer to peer function failure. AWDFLASH 8.23K is included in this BIOS package.
2. Fixed CPU temperature too high issue.
3. Raised highest CPU FSB up to 300 MHz for "user define mode" in
   SoftMenu.
4. Fixed SATA RAID-0 data corruption issue by adding a new option
   "EXT-P2P's Discard Time" in "integrated Peripherals". The default
   setting is "30 us" ; which is recommended by NVidia. In case the problem is still there, try "1 ms" please.
5. BIOS Compile Date: 5/13/2003.

1. Please use AWDFLASH 8.23D or later to update NF7 series BIOS. With incorrect AWDFLASH version, the GUID will be erased, and leads to IEEE1394 peer to peer function failed. AWDFLASH 8.23K is included in this BIOS package.
.
2. Changed SSID of NF7-M and NF7 to "1C01" and "1C02" respectively.
3. Changed default setting of "Floppy A" to "1.44M, 3.5in." after fail- safe default loaded.
4. Adds auto-detect function of "Dual Channel DDR". The DDR modules should be installed in DIMM-3 and DIMM-2.
5. Fixed system instability issue when a PCI card installed in PCI-4 and in Windows 2000 environment.
6. BIOS Compile Date: 4/10/2003

1. Please use AWDFLASH 8.23D or later to update NF7 series BIOS. With
   incorrect AWDFLASH version, the GUID will be erased, and leads to
   IEEE1394 peer to peer function failed. AWDFLASH 8.23D is included in
   this BIOS package.
2. Change the write-protection mechanism of Flash ROM programming.
3. Support Thorton, Throughbred, Barton 2600+ CPU.
4. The default value on DRAM Ration changes to"Auto".
5. Added "CPU Disconnect Function" option on chipset to turn on/off C1 disconnect.
6. The CPU frequency 1917Mhz revised to 1916MHz.
7. DMI Pool data shows to"socket A".
8. The default value of "Memory Timings" revises to "Optimal".
9. Fix the problem that system can not detect USB Device under WinME while resume from S3,S4 mode, and lead to usb connector failed.
10. Fix system can not show fan speed in PC Health Status while using lower
    speed FAN.
11. Add"IDE Bus Master" function to improve transfer speed of GHOST, and
    default value set up to disabled.
12. Fix the problem while disabled"IDE Controller", and truned off IDE Controller, it would fail to share IRQ 14, 15;thus, IDE Controller would NOT be turned off, it would show "IDE Controller"IRQ to be "NA" in PCI list.
13. Provides"AGP aperture size" option for NF7-M, while use on chip VGA.
14. BIOS compile date: 3/27/2003.

BIOS ID:16

1. Please use AWDFLASH 8.23D or later to update NF7 series BIOS. With incorrect AWDFLASH version, the GUID will be erased, and leads to IEEE1394 peer to peer function failure. AWDFLASH 8.23D is included in this BIOS package.
2. Update on chip VGA BIOS to v4.1F.00.07.13 (for NF7-M only).
3. Fixes share memory allocation issue for NF7-M when AGP card installed.
4. Fixes fail to create DMI Pool data when CPUID=064X CPU installed.
5. Fixes booting failure issue for Corsair TwinX-3200LL and CMX256A-3200LL memory modules.
6. Revises the DDR frequency reading during POST.
7. Update on board Serial ATA BIOS to v4.2.12 (for NF7-S only). Please also update Serial ATA driver to 1.0.0.28.
8. Disables power button temporarily when updating BIOS. This is to protect BIOS data from corruption if pushing power button during BIOS flashing.
9. Fix the problem that CPU core voltage reading is a little lower in PC Health page; meanwhile, the Hardware Monitoring tool needs to be updated to "HWM_NF7V16.EXE" together with BIOS update.
10. Correct the "Battery Voltage" wording to "3.3V Dual Voltage" in PC Health; meanwhile, the Hardware Monitoring tool needs to be updated to "HWM_NF7V16.EXE" together with BIOS update.
11. Change the maximum CPU FSB from 200 to 250 MHz in SoftMenu.
12. BIOS Compile Date: 2/27/2003.
    

1. Please use AWDFLASH 8.23D or later to update the NF7 series BIOS.With the incorrect AWDFLASH version, the GUID will be erased, and will lead to IEEE1394 peer to peer function failure. AWDFLASH 8.23D is included in this BIOS package.
2. First release for NF7/NF7-S/NF7-M V1.2 board.
3. It shows real frequency of CPU while POST after bios checksum error or setup CPU speed as "User Define".
4. It shows real frequency of memory rather than DDR 266/333 while POST after bios checksum error or setup CPU speed as "User Define".
5. Remove IRQ9 item from IRQ Resources because it is occupied by ACPI controller.
6. Revise the issue of OnBoard VGA ROM displays "Engineering...".
