Release information:

[ENGLISH]

0. 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.
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.
