Add Pentium M 780 (SL7VB) support to IC7-MAX3

[u3a6]

I am now thinking about using "Bios Patcher" from rom.by... Let it fix the bios, I have no idea about what i should do next, to make this work... Anyone?


UPDATE: I have used Bios Patcher to force the cpu name, (hopping it would change the cpu id code) but it has no worked either... According to the Intel datasheets, the cpu gives info like operating frequency, enable disable HT, cache size, cpu VID etc, it basically gives all the necessary configuration parameters, so that the board can auto detect this stuff and have the cpu properly working. At this moment I strongly believe that the board does not know what to do after it finds a unknown Family Code (1111 for all the supported Pentium 4, Xeon, Mobile P4M and Celeron cpus and 0110 for the Pentium M 780) and Model No. (several Model No. for the P4 family cpus and 1101 for the Pentium M 780). I guess it would also lack the strings to associate the 0110 code with the name Pentium M or something like this... I dont care about the name of the cpu in the bios, could associate any of the other cpu name strings to the Pentium M...
