Gigabyte GA-8SIMLH v2 and v3 Prescott support

Hi! This motherboard uses the SiS 651 chipset, which does not appear to have Prescott support itself. No 651 motherboard supports them.

It's a very old chipset, supporting only FSB 533 CPUs.
I tried a Prescott 2800 533FSB on it but the board failed to boot. No beeps, black screen.

However the SiS 651 chipset appears to be very closely related to the SiS 661GX and 661FX chipset, which do support Prescotts abundantly.

Do you think it's possible to extend support of the FSB533 Prescotts on the GA-8SIMLH? Frequency wise, they would be the same as the Northwood counterparts, but with the extra cache.

Not sure if it's important: The GA-8SIMLH v3 has HT support, whereas the GA-8SIMLH v2 has not.

Thanks!
