8KRA2+ new bios dated 10/28/03 from Magic BIOS

Has anyone used this new BIOS for this motherboard? I started up
Magic BIOS a few days ago and had it search for a new BIOS. It
connected to the internet and found one with the same part number as
the 08/28/03 BIOS was but the .txt file (see below) that came with it
seemed to indicate that it was a supplement to the 08/28/03 one. For
some reason, this new BIOS is not on the epox.com website. I went
ahead and flashed to this new BIOS anyways (using AWDFLASH) and it
uses the same 6A6LYPAO "part no." as the 08/28/03 BIOS did.
Performance seems to be slightly improved mostly in the
VIA-conntroller connected disks.

Does anyone have any other information on this BIOS?
