90nm or 65nm??

Does anyone know if this motherboard can handle 65nm processors?? I was looking at getting the P4 3.4g 651.

The process length doesn't matter. As long as the processor is supported, then yes.

Is this a new PC that your are building? Or an upgrade?

For one, dont get the 651, get a C2D.
Two, go to newegg.com (if you are in the US) or tigerdirect.com (if in the UK) for buying.
Three, that only has an AGP slot. Get something like this-

or most likely, something a bit less expensive.

this is a new pc...I got the P4 3.2 641...even though alot of people said that the processor was really picky about m-boards and of course when I got it it didnt work so I wanted to make sure I dont make any more mistakes.

As burgerbob said, if you're building a new system dont get a Pentium 4.

The 65nm also include twice the cache, so there better then their 5xx siblings, but not a huge upgrade.
