Performance BIOS for AK32     	 		    AK32S904   05/17/2001
=========================================================================

Notes
-----
Use this BIOS at your own risk!!! Flashing the wrong performance BIOS on 
the wrong PCB version will cause total boot failure. Please refer to the
following page for mainboard PCB & BOM identification :
http://www.spacewalker.com/english/support/faq/top10QA/mbinfo.htm

This performance BIOS is intended for advanced/power user use only, 
since this BIOS is specially tuned and for use in conjunction with 
"qualified" hardware devices which meets the performance BIOS requirement.

If after Bios flash, the system does not boot or give blank screen 
please remove power cord and clear CMOS, try other DDR/SD-RAM and H/W devices. 
If still the same then try removing onboard 3V battery for 1~3 min, clear 
CMOS and retry. Make sure that if you wish to clear CMOS by jumper, please 
remove power cord first! More information is available from :
http://www.spacewalker.com/english/support/faq/top10QA/mbInstall.htm

Otherwise if the mainboard is dead please take the original non-performance
BIOS to an EEPROM programmer and have the Bios Firmware reprogrammed. 

For P4 mainboards, please use qualified P4 power supply. Please also make 
sure that the power connectors from the power supply are plugged into the
ATX power connector, ATX AUX power connector and ATX 12V power connector.
The mainboard will not function if either one of the power connectors are
not plugged into the mainboard.
