Prescott's are only Pentium 4's, the Pentium D's are either a Smithfield or a Presler.
According to some reviews, if you want to have a dual-core CPU on that motherboard you need to flash the BIOS with a new one. But some people said that it didnt work for all Pentium D's. I would go with a motherboard that natively (out of the box) supports the Pentium D.
