you need another motherboard, the one you have is AMD based. The asus p4x800 series is pretty good, unless that prescott is in the LGA775 package then a 915p based board is a good choice

I have that cpu as well and I'm thinking of getting the Abit IC7-G. I seems to be a great motherboard.

Well you are gonna need another board too because the IC7 is a socket478
