Will try tomorrow 14.04

Have you had any success? Because my situation is identical to yours % except now I have issue with consistency check and no problem like you have got about no image in memory...

Use native CPU and memory.

Dell optiplex 760 usff
- bios version: A16
The attachment bios has been modified by Phoenixtool 2.73, with update vbios and ahci rom. Now I need to add 45nm Xeon 3xxx support. In the same time, it need to keep original 45nm Core 2 support (1067A plat b1) and update its microcode to A0E version.
I don't know how to manual hex edit the bios to add microcode. If somebody like to help me or tell me how to do, it is very appreciated.
Thank you very much.
