Hello all.
First of all sorry for my English.
I have a asrock G41M-VS motherboard and i need some help to add CPU support on the motherboard.
I got a Q6600 Quad-core thats not supported by my motherboard.
Could someone help me or add / mod a bios and add support for the Q6600 CPU?
I tried to understand microcodes but i just cant get the hang of it.

I don't think so. But you'll make a photo of error.
No its not working.
Error this cpu cannot be supported system shuts down in 20 sec.
Sorry no pic.

The error string is
"This CPU cannot be supported. System will shutdown in 20 seconds".
I've asked you for a photo cause you didn't gave the
exact error string. But I've found it myself.
I've found interesting code in
RUN_CSEG module:
Code:
7B05 cmp al, cs:[si+4]
7B09 jz 7B12h
7B0B ....
...
7B10 jmps 7AD6h
7B12 popad
7B14 call sub_7B18 ; printing the error string & halt
One byte patch is needed:
