But I've analysed official BIOS exe-file and found that suitable microcode was already included. Try to reflash official BIOS with Pentium D 945 installed.

Simply re-flashing the same (latest) BIOS after the Pentium D 945 was installed appears to have worked! I've never needed to re-flash the same bios to get a new CPU to work - can you say why this was needed and is it only something to expect with IBM/Lenovo machines?

Attached is an image of the BIOS showing that it recognises the CPU now.

Finally, will anything higher than a Pentium D be likely to work in this machine? I chose the Pentium D 945 using my best understanding but I could have miscalculated.

Thank you very much for your assistance.
