Dell Optiplex 960 - 775 to 771 request

[trinikid]

BIOS Link: http://rghost.net/56942059

Currently what happens: On start up after post, before windows logo, it says incompatible CPU for computer. Computer works just fine but not all instructions are available (SSE4.1, EM64T and VT-x) is what appears to be missing when compared to the CPU that was in there before).

Can the microcodes in this file be placed in the BIOS?

If it's too big to fit in the BIOS there's two other files on there with it broken up by 45nm and 65nm. I just need 45nm, but I don't think a 65nm would hurt for others.

If possible that should take care of everyone who wishes to install one of the xeons in there Optiplex 960.

Thanks!
